Lessons on Database Partitioning and Sharding to handle massive datasets across multiple servers, along with replication strategies for high availability.

When one server can’t hold all data or handle all writes, you – split data across multiple databases. fundamentals of database engineering by hussein nasser

Sharding adds enormous complexity. Exhaust vertical scaling (bigger server) and read replicas before sharding. Lessons on Database Partitioning and Sharding to handle

Perhaps the most practical segment for developers is the deep dive into indexing. Exhaust vertical scaling (bigger server) and read replicas

“Don’t start with a distributed database. Start with a single node, add replication, then think about sharding only when you have to. Most of your problems are indexing, query patterns, and schema design – not scaling.”

Hussein Nasser’s "Fundamentals of Database Engineering" is a bridge between the role of a "coder" and a "software engineer." It turns the database from a magical service that stores JSON into a predictable, logical machine.
