Database Application level sharding is the process of splitting a table into multiple database instances in order to distribute the load. However, Sharding a database is an expensive operation (maintainability and overhead) and I suggest you do that only when you absolutely need to. That means when your single instance database can no longer serve queries with minimum latency. So I suggest you monitor that and only shard if necessary.. I rather do replication make master / backup and make requests read from replica than Sharding just because it is easier.. good question... nice idea for a video
