CosmosDB is a good solution for building a solution for a startup, it allows solutions to start small and to scale globally, all with little management overhead. There are, of course drawbacks as well, the major one being that cost can be come an issue. This project will attempt to keep costs in check by fronting access to CosmosDB with Apollo GraphQL which if architected appropriately can make server side calls more efficient and can leverage caching.
The NodeJS community has excellent support for MongoDB and the maturity in working with unstructured data provides a good paring with Apollo GraphQL and helps to meet the demands of modern consumer created data driven applications.
