# Database Sharding Manager
## Overview
Implement and manage horizontal database sharding strategies across PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB. This skill covers shard key selection, data distribution analysis, cross-shard query routing, and rebalancing operations for databases that have outgrown single-node capacity.
## Prerequisites
- Database admin credentials with CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE, and replication permissions
- `psql`, `mysql`, or `mongosh` CLI tools installed and configured
- Network connectivity between all shard nodes
- Current table sizes and growth rate data (query `pg_total_relation_size` or `information_schema.TABLES`)
- Application query patterns documented or access to slow query logs
- Enough disk and memory on target shard nodes to handle redistributed data
