How does it handle database rate limiting?

It provides standardized error handling patterns to detect 429 (Too Many Requests) errors and extract retry-after headers, allowing for reliable exponential backoff implementation.

Can this skill help with hierarchical partition keys?

Yes, it includes specific implementation patterns for Hierarchical Partition Keys (MultiHash) to optimize data distribution and query performance in complex multi-tenant scenarios.

Which authentication method is recommended?

The skill prioritizes Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication using @azure/identity and DefaultAzureCredential as it is more secure than using static account keys.

Does this skill handle Cosmos DB resource provisioning?

This skill focuses on the Data Plane SDK (@azure/cosmos) for document and item operations. For infrastructure management like creating accounts or databases via ARM/Bicep, you should use the Management Plane SDK (@azure/arm-cosmosdb).
