What is Horizontal Scaling?
Horizontal scaling in MongoDB involves distributing data across multiple servers or shards. Each shard contains a subset of the data, ensuring that no single server is overwhelmed by read or write operations. This approach allows MongoDB to handle large volumes of data and high-throughput operations efficiently.
How to Perform Horizontal Scaling in MongoDB?
Horizontal scaling, also known as scaling out, involves adding more servers to a database system to handle increased load. In the context of MongoDB, horizontal scaling is implemented through a process called sharding. This article will delve into the details of horizontal scaling in MongoDB, discussing what it is, how it works, and the steps to set it up.
