Database Scaling: Read Replicas & Write Sharding Explained!

Learn how to scale your database effectively with read replicas and write sharding! 🚀 This video breaks down complex system design concepts into easy-to-understand explanations for beginners.

We start by addressing the challenges of database scaling, where a single database can become a bottleneck, impacting read and write performance. Discover how read replicas, read-only copies of your primary database, can dramatically improve read query performance and enable geographic distribution for lower latency. 📖

Next, we dive into write scaling strategies, focusing on database sharding and master-master setups. See a practical example of sharding, where data is partitioned across multiple databases based on user IDs. ✍️ Understand the benefits and trade-offs of each approach.

By the end of this video, you'll have a solid understanding of how to scale your database reads and writes independently! 👍
