Which Rust crates are used for Azure Cosmos DB integration?

This skill primarily uses the azure_data_cosmos crate for database operations and azure_identity for secure authentication.

Can I perform partial document updates?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for using the Patch API to modify specific fields without replacing the entire document.

Does this skill help with partitioning?

Yes, it enforces the best practice of specifying partition keys for all point reads and writes to ensure optimal Cosmos DB performance.

Is the generated code thread-safe?

Yes, the skill follows best practices such as reusing client instances, which are designed to be thread-safe and shared across the application.

How does the skill handle authentication?

It prioritizes Entra ID authentication using DeveloperToolsCredential for security, but also provides support for key-based authentication if needed.
