Advanced System Architecture Database Sharding & Partitioning

What do you do when your database is too big for a single server? In this session, we break down sharding and partitioning in databases. While they both involve breaking data into smaller pieces, they serve very different purposes in system design.

Database Partitioning: Learn how to break a large table into smaller, manageable segments within a single database instance to improve query performance and maintenance.
Database Sharding: We explore the process of distributing data across multiple independent database servers (shards) to achieve horizontal scalability.
Sharding vs. Partitioning: A clear breakdown of the difference between sharding and partitioning, including when to use each strategy based on your traffic and data size.
Sharding Strategies: Understanding Shard Keys, Range-based Sharding, and Hash-based Sharding to ensure an even distribution of data.

From a simple database sharding example to high-level architectural tradeoffs, this video is designed for developers and students preparing for a system design interview or managing large-scale data migrations.
