The document discusses Global Azure, a globally distributed, massively scalable, multi-model database service from Microsoft. It provides an overview of Azure Cosmos DB and its APIs, including the Gremlin API for graph databases. It then discusses what graph databases are, how they are structured according to the Apache Tinkerpop specification, and provides examples of graph data models and queries. Finally, it discusses common use cases for graph databases such as social networks, knowledge graphs, and infrastructure monitoring.
