Our Co-Founder & CTO Trista Pan, also ShardingSphere PMC, and Yacine Si Tayeb, our Head of International Operations at SphereEx and Committer at ShardingSphere, joined the Stack Overflow podcast to share about Apache ShardingSphere.
They shared the advantages of data sharding and how it splits a database into smaller distributed databases to spread query load across multiple servers.
During the conversation, they introduced the complexities that arise with large databases, the rise of open source in China, and how Trista’s position as the only female Apache member in China can help other women get into technology.
Check out below the episode notes, and the links to the podcast.
