High performance web applications often reach the limits of one database server. Such systems require a smart distribution of data. Sharding is a mechanism that helps the application to scale horizontal and gain responsability by splitting information across multiple servers. The talk will give an introduction on sharding and possible implementations as well as covering problems with this approach.

Interesting talk, complex subject, not sure too many in the audience will ever have the opportunity to explore these things. Well presented in general, though echo previous comment real world examples help plant it in our minds.
Good stuff to be aware of, but can't imagine every having the issues raised. I also, agree that additional real-world examples would have helped solidify the information presented.
Pretty technical compared to the other talks, which I appreciated but may have lost some of the audience. Some cool visualisations that I think could be improved on to pull the rest of the crowd along. More concrete examples of what approaches work on different datasets would have been interesting. Did get me thinking about some of our own stuff though, so was definitely worth attending.

Interesting talk. I think more real-world examples would've gotten the message across better, but overall interesting talk.
