The database size in modern enterprises and in highload web applications is constantly growing. The only working approach to accommodate this growth is horizontal scaling. The Shardman distributed DBMS is intended to enable horizontal scaling of OLTP databases while preserving the strong ACID semantics.
Shardman provides the following advantages to your applications:
Transparent scaling without a need in adopting NoSQL DBMS.
Built-in support of replication with no single point of failure.
Strong ACID guarantees.
Shardman is not appropriate when:
Your database is small enough to fit one server.
Queries have no good filters and return most of the table data.
The sharding schema does not suit your queries.
