- daenney 10y agoWhat makes you think this is about sharding?
- hamandcheese 10y agoThe part about looking up track information.
- ec109685 10y agoThe article talks about their use of dns service records to encode shard locations. I know other companies that do similar things. DNS has to be up, so rather than adding another dependency, encoding it into that infrastructure is a valid approach.
