I found this article incredibly interesting, because I've only worked on low-traffic Rails apps so far. I've always wanted to learn about sharding, but haven't needed to, and didn't know where to start. Now I'm inspired to start up a few VMs and have a play with the gems they mentioned, and try to get replication and failover happening.
