In a world where databases are built for scale, where optimisation is paramount and uptime is an expected necessity. We’d like to highlight this video from MongoDB on how to achieve all three.

2. Monitor and vertical scaling
3. Shard to scale out horizontally

It’s important you don’t leap into it without prepping your application, monitoring your workload, and checking your hardware choices.
