p.sI thought it was a GIF, but it's an iframe. That was a nice little surprise.
It really feels like the best way to learn is by studying other people's code.
What about foreign keys? Do they all have to live on the same shard? How do you do distributed transactions?
On cross-shard reads: how do you do sorting? And cross-shard joins?
I’d love to be proven wrong, but I suspect the 768 servers look like 1 only on the very surface, and you’ll get wildly different characteristics from cross-shard and single-shard queries.
I personally would prefer if they _didn’t_ look like 1 if they can’t behave like 1.
