Sharding is a method used to distribute data across multiple servers to ensure scalability and performance. It allows MongoDB to handle large datasets and high throughput operations by dividing the data into smaller, more manageable pieces called shards.

Key Concepts

  1. Shard:

    • Each shard contains a subset of the data.
    • Shards can be deployed on separate servers or clusters to balance the load and ensure high performance.

  2. Shard Key:

    • A field or a set of fields in a document that determines how the data is distributed across the shards.
