Sharding destroys the goals of your relational database (stephan.reposita.org) 9 points by nickb 17y ago ↗ HN
[–] patrickg-zill 17y ago ↗ I really wonder, if MySQL had better write performance, would sharding be as much in vogue? [–] donal 17y ago ↗ Interesting question, ultimately I think the answer is yes for three reasons.1) Sharding helps with more than just performance issues.2) Even the most efficient write performance would still bottleneck at a certain scale.3) Everyone likes to think that they will reach the scale at which point that bottleneck occurs.
