Chapter 6. Understanding the Concept of Sharding

After learning about replication and replica sets, we can jump into the more complex concepts of MongoDB. In this chapter, we will talk about one of the most valuable MongoDB features, that is, sharding. Using this feature, you can spread your data across different servers to distribute operation pressure between different machines and provide better performance.

In this chapter, we will learn the basic terms and concepts of sharding. In the next chapter, we will configure and set up a server from scratch.
