  • Colocating data for Performance improvements

    Data Colocation for Performance in Large Clusters To colocate data in a huge cluster for performance, the primary goal is to minimize the distance and time it takes for computational resources to access the data they need. This reduces network congestion, latency, and improves overall processing speed. Here’s how: 1. Partitioning (Sharding) How it works: Read more
