Welcome to your interview.
The question is on your right: Database Sharding for Global Traffic. Take a moment with it first.
Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.
How do you handle database sharding for a global, high-traffic financial application?
