  What's Next?

  In this course, you learned how to plan the various components of a sharded cluster, including what tables you will want to shard, the number and configuration of data nodes in your cluster, and when you may benefit from a layer of compute nodes to help handle large user volume.

  You also saw how to deploy and use a sharded cluster: from deploying to creating the sharded table or tables, to loading and querying the data in the cluster. You saw how one company used sharding to improve application performance and scale for a growing workload. You are now ready to put these ideas into practice as you plan, deploy, and use your own sharded clusters.
