I wanted to drop a quick clarification note here. In the article, I used the term "sharding" to refer to both application and database level sharding.

For anyone that's looking at sharding as an option for scaling, we're always happy to chat and help point you in the right direction. My email's ozgun @ citusdata.com

If you're looking databases that come with built-in sharding, I'd definitely check out Citus (then again, I'm biased): https://www.citusdata.com/
