Know the name of this "concept" (which maybe comes up less cuz DBs beefed up)? š

Consistent Hashing
š„ heck yea. 100% and of course you're freaking genius so you would know šŖ
(once at old corp ran db sharding stuff into configurable parts, that was fun and today probably way overkill lol )
To enable partitioning and reach even distribution on db shard charts š¤£. Pick some metadata, hash, md5 while condiering parts configured (on that circle) and bammm lol even DB incoming š¤£

OK. Can I get you to go more into this? I think I know what's going on but I know that I don't but I'm intrigued.
Sharding
Yea, was thinking specifically of āconsistent hashingā utilized for āsharingā so either way you got that right
