Azure SQL Database supports two types of scaling:Vertical scaling where you can scale up or down the database by adding more compute power. Horizontal scaling where you can add more databases and to shard your data into multiple database nodes....
SQL Azure Federation SQL Azure federation provides tools that allow developers to scale out (by sharding) in SQL Azure. Here are some of the benefits of a sharded database: Taking advantage of greater resources within the cloud on demand. Allowing customers to have their own database, to shar...
Shard: A database in Azure SQL Database that stores data from a sharded data set.Shard elasticity: The ability to perform both horizontal scaling and vertical scaling.Sharded tables: Tables that are sharded, i.e., whose data is distributed across shards based on their sharding key values....

Horizontal scaling, or scaling out or in, where you add more databases or divide your large database into smaller nodes, using a data partitioning approach called sharding, which can be managed faster and more easily across servers. Learn more about database sharding Scaling...
When thinking about using MongoDB either on premise or in the cloud, you need to understand the basics of how to implement scaling with MongoDB. A sample configuration that uses both sharding and replica sets will help illustrate. In MongoDB, within a particular collection of BSON documents, ...

Azure Cosmos DB makes this transition – enabling distributed tables – easy. Previously, if you wanted to use the Citus extension to create a distributed table, you’d first have to pick a sharding key. You’d then have to run a command that would block write operations. WithCitus 11.1,...
