The Sharding Trap: Database Scaling Strategies for High-Throughput Systems

Sharding is the solution of last resort. Before you split your database, understand the architectural trade-offs, consistent hashing algorithms, and why vertical scaling on NVMe might save your engineering team months of pain.

Database Sharding Strategies: The Nuclear Option for Scaling (And Why You Should Probably Wait)

Sharding is not a feature; it's a complexity tax. Before you slice your database, understand the architectural costs, the latency penalties, and why raw NVMe compute might save you from rewriting your entire backend.
