Sharding

MongoDB scales horizontally via an auto-sharding (partitioning) architecture. MongoDB sharding provides:

  • Automatic balancing for changes in load and data distribution
  • Easy addition of new machines without down time
  • Scaling to one thousand nodes
  • No single points of failure
  • Automatic failover
