I've also written about sharding.

Thanks! Another great article! It strikes me that modulo sharding on a sequential id would probably work rather well, but it was not mentioned in this article. Is there a reason I'm not seeing that this is bad? I guess resharding might be problematic, as you can't easily split a shard in two without rewriting every shard if you do that...
