Horizontal partitioning of a database into independent shards — shard key selection, routing, replication with failover, and the operational costs.
How load balancers distribute traffic across servers, why naive hashing breaks on scale events, and how consistent hashing with virtual nodes solves it.
Understanding vertical and horizontal scaling, when to use each, and practical patterns for building scalable systems.
