Or maybe said "shitty" programmer:
- is writing a for-profit web app for his own company that consists of mostly programmers
- already knows in advance that the only queries he's ever going to make are those defined by the programmers, and that for his particular use case it's no disaster if newly introduced queries only work over new data
- already knows in advance that his data size will become several terabytes in several months and thus needs sharding
- does not want or have the resources to spend several million dollars on expensive Oracle licenses
Go ahead. Find me an auto-sharding solution for MySQL or PostgreSQL that doesn't involve tons of money. Then I'll change my mind.
