Local emulator doesn't work for the Table Storage API: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/9c7620c427e85c7bc00d755552b053aa135e0607/articles/cosmos-db/local-emulator.md#differences-between-the-emulator-and-the-service
But it seems there's one for Table Storage: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/92929d4339f0fc2de52c39b827188e7a435a2b6d/articles/storage/common/storage-use-emulator.md#differences-for-table-storage
For running the emulator on Linux (required for Travis CI), Microsoft suggests to use an open source emulator: https://github.com/azure/azurite
Azure Cosmos DB is described as "multi model" database, supporting the MongoDB API, Cassandra API, SQL queries, Gremlin (graph), and Azure Table Storage API.
Cosmos DB is the counterpart to AWS DynamoDB, but the "multi model" seems to be unique.
Microsoft describes Azure Table Storage as "NoSQL key-value store", so maybe that's the best API to work with (see here).
