Use Azure Cosmos DB Locally — No Cloud Required

Did you know you can run Azure Cosmos DB entirely on your local machine?

By combining:

✅ Azure Cosmos DB Emulator

✅ Cosmos DB Data Migration Desktop Tool

You can:

Import data from JSON, CSV, SQL Server, or MongoDB

Test queries, indexing, and data models safely

Prototype with production-like data before going live

I’ve written a step-by-step guide on Medium explaining how to set this up and why it’s a great workflow for local development and testing.

I built a Chrome extension that unifies booking data from Airbnb, VRBO, Hipcamp, and FareHarbour into a single dashboard. Shows today's check-ins/outs, currently hosting, upcoming bookings, a calendar view with color-coded platform indicators, and a property overview grid. No API keys or third-party integrations needed. Designed from firsthand experience managing 13+ rental units across 4 platforms.
