Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Design: Microservices Architecture with Database Shardi

The video tutorial covers the application of the database sharding pattern in microservice architectures. It begins with an overview of design considerations and transitions into Microsoft data management patterns. The tutorial explores data partitioning techniques, including horizontal, vertical, and functional partitioning, and discusses the use of Cassandra in sharding. It then applies these concepts to microservice architecture, focusing on scaling databases. The video concludes with a discussion on the features and benefits of sharded databases, highlighting scalability, availability, and performance improvements.
