Azure Cosmos DB SDK for Rust
Client library for Azure Cosmos DB NoSQL API — globally distributed, multi-model database.
Installation
cargo add azure_data_cosmos azure_identity
Environment Variables
COSMOS_ENDPOINT=https://<account>.documents.azure.com:443/
COSMOS_DATABASE=mydb
COSMOS_CONTAINER=mycontainer
Authentication
use azure_identity::DeveloperToolsCredential;
use azure_data_cosmos::CosmosClient;
let credential = DeveloperToolsCredential::new(None)?;
let client = CosmosClient::new(
"https://<account>.documents.azure.com:443/",
credential.clone(),
None,
)?;
Client Hierarchy
| Client | Purpose | Get From |
|---|---|---|
CosmosClient |
Account-level operations | Direct instantiation |
DatabaseClient |
Database operations | client.database_client() |
ContainerClient |
Container/item operations | database.container_client() |
Core Workflow
Get Database and Container Clients
let database = client.database_client("myDatabase");
let container = database.container_client("myContainer");
Create Item
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Item {
pub id: String,
pub partition_key: String,
pub value: String,
}
let item = Item {
id: "1".into(),
partition_key: "partition1".into(),
value: "hello".into(),
};
container.create_item("partition1", item, None).await?;
Read Item
let response = container.read_item("partition1", "1", None).await?;
let item: Item = response.into_model()?;
Replace Item
let mut item: Item = container.read_item("partition1", "1", None).await?.into_model()?;
item.value = "updated".into();
container.replace_item("partition1", "1", item, None).await?;
Patch Item
use azure_data_cosmos::models::PatchDocument;
let patch = PatchDocument::default()
.with_add("/newField", "newValue")?
.with_remove("/oldField")?;
container.patch_item("partition1", "1", patch, None).await?;
Delete Item
container.delete_item("partition1", "1", None).await?;
Key Auth (Optional)
Enable key-based authentication with feature flag:
cargo add azure_data_cosmos --features key_auth
Best Practices
- Always specify partition key — required for point reads and writes
- Use
into_model()?— to deserialize responses into your types - Derive
SerializeandDeserialize— for all document types - Use Entra ID auth — prefer
DeveloperToolsCredentialover key auth - Reuse client instances — clients are thread-safe and reusable
