MongoDB uses sharding to support deployments with very large data sets and high throughput operations. </p> <p class="leafygreen-ui-1kp3ins"> Database systems with large data sets or high throughput applications can challenge the capacity of a single server. For example, high query rates can exhaust the CPU capacity of the server. Working set sizes larger than the system's RAM stress the I/O capacity of disk drives. </p> <p class="leafygreen-ui-1kp3ins"> There are two methods for addressing system growth: vertical and horizontal scaling. </p> <p class="leafygreen-ui-1kp3ins"> <em> Vertical Scaling </em> involves increasing the capacity of a single server, such as using a more powerful CPU, adding more RAM, or increasing the amount of storage space. Limitations in available technology may restrict a single machine from being sufficiently powerful for a given workload. Additionally, Cloud-based providers have hard ceilings based on available hardware configurations. As a result, there is a practical maximum for vertical scaling. </p> <p class="leafygreen-ui-1kp3ins"> <em> Horizontal Scaling </em> involves dividing the system dataset and load over multiple servers, adding additional servers to increase capacity as required. While the overall speed or capacity of a single machine may not be high, each machine handles a subset of the overall workload, potentially providing better efficiency than a single high-speed high-capacity server. Expanding the capacity of the deployment only requires adding additional servers as needed, which can be a lower overall cost than high-end hardware for a single machine. The trade off is increased complexity in infrastructure and maintenance for the deployment. </p> <p class="leafygreen-ui-1kp3ins"> MongoDB supports <em> horizontal scaling </em> through <a class="leafygreen-ui-tqgtui" href="/docs/manual/reference/glossary/#std-term-sharding"> sharding. </a> </p> <a class="css-53dzkk" href="https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-ui/collections/#shard-a-collection"> <div class="css-z0l49d"> <div class="css-fw7ipj"> <svg aria-label="Cloud Icon" class="leafygreen-ui-1t2jgtk" fill="none" height="16" role="img" viewbox="0 0 16 16" width="16" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <path d="M12.571 8.143c0 1.775-.899 3.34-2.267 4.264l-.014.01a5.12 5.12 0 0 1-2.861.869H2.857a2.857 2.857 0 0 1-.545-5.663 5.144 5.144 0 0 1 10.26.52ZM13.821 8.143a6.38 6.38 0 0 1-2.358 4.96 3.429 3.429 0 1 0 2.17-6.506c.123.494.188 1.013.188 1.546Z" fill="currentColor"> </path> </svg> </div> <p class="leafygreen-ui-1kp3ins"> You can <a class="lg-ui-0001 leafygreen-ui-fgcsv5" href="https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-ui/collections/#shard-a-collection" target="_self"> <span> shard collections in the UI </span> </a> for deployments hosted in <a class="lg-ui-0001 leafygreen-ui-fgcsv5" href="https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas?tck=docs_server" target="_self"> <span> MongoDB Atlas. </span> </a> </p> </div> </a> <span class="leafygreen-ui-1qnjd6d" id="std-label-sharded-cluster"> </span> <section> <h2 class="contains-headerlink leafygreen-ui-19f71ei" weight="medium"> Sharded Cluster <a class="headerlink leafygreen-ui-1kepx47" href="#sharded-cluster" title="Permalink to this heading"> <svg aria-label="Link Icon" class="leafygreen-ui-a30zj9" fill="none" height="12" role="img" viewbox="0 0 16 16" width="12" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <path d="M6.039 9.953a3.596 3.596 0 0 1-.327-.38l1.45-1.445a1.553 1.553 0 0 0 2.496.423l2.885-2.87a1.57 1.57 0 0 0 .01-2.213 1.553 1.553 0 0 0-2.203-.01l-.379.377A.995.995 0 0 1 8.56 3.83a1.005 1.005 0 0 1 .006-1.418l.38-.377a3.542 3.542 0 0 1 5.024.023 3.58 3.58 0 0 1-.022 5.047l-2.884 2.871a3.542 3.542 0 0 1-5.025-.022Z" fill="currentColor"> </path> <path d="M9.961 6.047c.12.12.228.248.327.38l-1.45 1.445a1.553 1.553 0 0 0-2.496-.423l-2.885 2.87a1.57 1.57 0 0 0-.01 2.213 1.553 1.553 0 0 0 2.203.01l.379-.377a.995.995 0 0 1 1.411.006 1.005 1.005 0 0 1-.006 1.418l-.38.377a3.542 3.542 0 0 1-5.024-.023 3.58 3.58 0 0 1 .022-5.047l2.884-2.871a3.542 3.542 0 0 1 5.025.022Z" fill="currentColor"> </path> </svg> <div class="css-1btu0w3 evvkmar0" id="sharded-cluster"> </div> </a> </h2> <div class="leafygreen-ui-15mdk4" role="note"> <h2 class="leafygreen-ui-6n7b7d"> Note </h2> <div class="leafygreen-ui-9mycqc"> <p class="leafygreen-ui-1kp3ins"> A MongoDB <a class="leafygreen-ui-tqgtui" href="/docs/manual/reference/glossary/#std-term-sharded-cluster"> sharded cluster </a> consists of the following components: </p> <ul class="leafygreen-ui-rioki0"> <li class="leafygreen-ui-d7p7b6"> <p class="leafygreen-ui-1kp3ins"> <a class="leafygreen-ui-tqgtui" href="/docs/manual/core/sharded-cluster-shards/#std-label-shards-concepts"> shard </a> : Each shard contains a subset of the sharded data.
