Microsoft Azure Database

Azure Cosmos DB

Azure Cosmos DB is Microsoft’s fully managed, serverless NoSQL vector database. It handles high-availability workloads with low latency, making it suitable for modern applications that require scalable data storage and retrieval without infrastructure management overhead.

This option suits teams needing a managed NoSQL solution with vector capabilities, but it lacks a free tier. You pay from $0.000208 per hour on a pay-as-you-go basis, so there is no zero-cost entry point for testing or small-scale prototyping.
