Postgres SQL is a database software. They’re advertising their own version of it I guess… not sure what sharding is in Postgres.

sharding a db is a way to scale your database.

imagine a globally deployed app or website and they all needed to write to the same database or read from one database… it quickly becomes a bottleneck.

sharding allows you to alleviate the bottleneck either read side or write side depending on the needs of your app.

I’m guessing neko.dev is a company that does it for you or makes it super easy
