How to integrate Snowplow with Azure Cosmos DB for real-time personalization?

Integrating Snowplow with Azure Cosmos DB enables ultra-fast, globally distributed personalization capabilities.

Event processing pipeline:

  • Stream Snowplow event data into Azure Event Hubs for initial ingestion
  • Use Azure Functions or Azure Stream Analytics to process and enrich the behavioral event data
  • Apply real-time transformations to create personalization-ready data structures

Data storage and access:

  • Store the enriched event data in Azure Cosmos DB, which provides fast, globally distributed data storage with millisecond latency
  • Leverage Cosmos DB's global distribution to serve personalization data from the closest geographic region
  • Use Cosmos DB's multi-model capabilities to support various data structures for different personalization use cases

Real-time personalization:

  • Use the data from Cosmos DB to personalize user experiences on websites or apps in real-time
  • Enable dynamic content recommendations, pricing adjustments, and user interface modifications
  • Combine with Snowplow Signals to compute and serve real-time user attributes for even more sophisticated personalization
