I strongly believe this: engineering perspective, problem-solving, and reasoning from first principles are EVERYTHING. Whether we’re building a database, browser, blockchain, or massive scalable system, only a strong foundation lets us make engineering decisions that truly…

What is the difference between Sharding and Partitioning? Sharding and partitioning are useful when we want to scale our databases (both storage and compute) and directly improve the overall throughput and availability of the system. Here's my detailed 24-minute no-fluff video…
