Demystifying Sharding in MongoDB

The number one mistake made with sharding is not planning for it early on. Like most daunting things, the “ignorance is bliss” approach is appealing until it’s unboxing day... You’re in luck. It turns out sharding your cluster is not so scary after all! This talk explores the concepts and architecture behind sharding while demonstrating its use cases and strengths. Furthermore, we outline how to pick a shard key and ultimately boost your application's performance through our sharding technology. Demystify one of MongoDB’s most powerful features with one of our sharding engineers. The talk is crafted to be educational for all expertise levels.
