Work with backend state stores on Dapr Docs

Azure Cosmos DB

Dapr doesn’t transform state values while saving and retrieving states. Dapr requires all state store implementations to abide by a certain key format scheme (see the state management spec. You can directly interact with the underlying store to manipulate the state data, such as:

Querying states.
Creating aggregated views.
Making backups.

Note

Azure Cosmos DB is a multi-modal database that supports multiple APIs. The default Dapr Cosmos DB state store implementation uses the Azure Cosmos DB SQL API.

Connect to Azure Cosmos DB

To connect to your Cosmos DB instance, you can either:

Redis

Querying states.
Creating aggregated views.
Making backups.

Note

The following examples uses Redis CLI against a Redis store using the default Dapr state store implementation.

Connect to Redis

You can use the official redis-cli or any other Redis compatible tools to connect to the Redis state store to query Dapr states directly. If you are running Redis in a container, the easiest way to use redis-cli is via a container:

SQL server

Querying states.
Creating aggregated views.
Making backups.

Connect to SQL Server

The easiest way to connect to your SQL Server instance is to use the:

Azure Data Studio (Windows, macOS, Linux)
SQL Server Management Studio (Windows)

Note

When you configure an Azure SQL database for Dapr, you need to specify the exact table name to use. The following Azure SQL samples assume you’ve already connected to the right database with a table named “states”.

List keys by App ID

To get all state keys associated with application “myapp”, use the query:
