Create a singleton Cosmos client with dual authentication:
# db/cosmos.py
from azure.cosmos import CosmosClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from starlette.concurrency import run_in_threadpool
_cosmos_container = None
def _is_emulator_endpoint(endpoint: str) -> bool:
return "localhost" in endpoint or "127.0.0.1" in endpoint
async def get_container():
global _cosmos_container
if _cosmos_container is None:
if _is_emulator_endpoint(settings.cosmos_endpoint):
client = CosmosClient(
url=settings.cosmos_endpoint,
credential=settings.cosmos_key,
connection_verify=False
)
else:
client = CosmosClient(
url=settings.cosmos_endpoint,
credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
)
db = client.get_database_client(settings.cosmos_database_name)
_cosmos_container = db.get_container_client(settings.cosmos_container_id)
return _cosmos_container
Full implementation: See references/client-setup.md
Use five-tier model pattern for clean separation:
class ProjectBase(BaseModel): # Shared fields
name: str = Field(..., min_length=1, max_length=200)
class ProjectCreate(ProjectBase): # Creation request
workspace_id: str = Field(..., alias="workspaceId")
class ProjectUpdate(BaseModel): # Partial updates (all optional)
name: Optional[str] = Field(None, min_length=1)
class Project(ProjectBase): # API response
id: str
created_at: datetime = Field(..., alias="createdAt")
class ProjectInDB(Project): # Internal with docType
doc_type: str = "project"
class ProjectService:
def _use_cosmos(self) -> bool:
return get_container() is not None
async def get_by_id(self, project_id: str, workspace_id: str) -> Project | None:
if not self._use_cosmos():
return None
doc = await get_document(project_id, partition_key=workspace_id)
if doc is None:
return None
return self._doc_to_model(doc)

> Suggests using Microsoft Testing Platform (MTP) hot reload to iterate fixes on failing tests without rebuilding. Use when user says "hot reload tests", "iterate on test fix", "run tests without rebuilding", "speed up test loop", "fix test faster", or needs to set up MTP hot reload to rapidly iterate on test failures. Covers setup (NuGet package, environment variable, launchSettings.json) and the iterative workflow for fixing tests. normally with dotnet test (use run-tests), applying test filters, producing TRX reports, CI/CD pipeline configuration, or Visual Studio Test Explorer hot reload (which is a different feature).
