There are several types of sharding strategies, including:
- Horizontal Sharding: Divides data across multiple tables based on a sharding key, such as user ID or email ID. - Vertical Sharding: Splits a database by tables, where each shard contains a different set of tables. - Range-Based Sharding: Distributes data based on a range of values, often used for date-based data. - Hash-Based Sharding: Uses a hash function to evenly distribute data across shards.
