Isn’t there a partitioning issue on the GSI here? I mean, all customers have something like pk=customer1 sk=customer so all customers are in the same partition

I mean, all customers have something like pk=customer1 sk=customer so all customers are in the same partition of the GSI. I know it’s a big deal
To distribute the table partition key but doesn’t that also apply to the GSI?
- forrestbrazeal 8y agoIt does apply to the GSI. This point is briefly addressed in the sidebar about sharding father down in the post. Not sure the "customer" records would have a problem, but the static GSI partition keys for orders, products, and suppliers could potentially run into issues.
