Published: July 20, 2026 14:05
If you use the Azure Cosmos DB vNext emulator, you probably know the local development loop: start the emulator, connect to it, create some resources, load test data, run queries, and inspect the results. Each step is straightforward, but together they add…
Building on Vercel’s eve + Azure Cosmos DB: An Agent That Remembers
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cosmosdb/cosmos-db-agent-memory/
Published: July 8, 2026 14:56
Most “AI agent” demos forget everything the moment the process exits. That’s fine for a toy project, but useless for anything real. An agent that helps you write, triage, or support needs two things a language model alone can’t give it: durable state and…
