Hierarchical partition keys in Azure Cosmos DB solve common multi-tenant application challenges like partition imbalance, hot partitions, and inefficient queries.

The approach enables targeted queries that consume fewer Request Units while maintaining tenant isolation and allowing independent scaling of logical partitions.
