    If this really is a strategic investment, maybe it means Citus style sharding is on the horizon?
    • nikita 2y ago
      We will consider it in the future. The important property in sharding should be the ability to go up and down in the number of shards. Each shard will increase write throughput and we should allow to go from 1 shard (default) to N to M and back to 1. This way we don't have an "upgrade" problem that Citus has.
