Sharding is a database architecture pattern that splits a single, large database into smaller, more manageable pieces called shards. Each shard is a subset of the database and operates as an independent database. Sharding helps improve performance, scalability, and availability in systems with large amounts of data or high transaction volumes.

How It Works

  • Data is distributed across shards based on a sharding key.
  • Each shard is responsible for a subset of the data.
  • The system routes queries to the appropriate shard(s) based on the sharding key.
