+ Gateway Mode is supported on all SDK platforms and is the configured default. If your application runs within a corporate network with strict firewall restrictions, Gateway Mode is the best choice since it uses the standard HTTPS port and a single endpoint. The performance tradeoff, however, is that Gateway Mode involves an additional network hop every time data is read or written to Azure Cosmos DB. Because of this, Direct Mode offers better performance due to fewer network hops. Gateway connection mode is also recommended when you run applications in environments with limited number of socket connections, for example when using Azure Functions or if you are on a consumption plan.
