Deploy MongoDB
Sharding is MongoDB’s solution to horizontal scaling. MongoDB’s documentation describes horizontal scaling in databases as the process of “ dividing a large database into smaller, more manageable pieces (called shards) and then distributing the shards across multiple machines.”
In Charmed MongoDB, we create sharded clusters by deploying several applications of Charmed MongoDB as individual cluster components, and then integrating them. This part of the tutorial will guide you through a practical example of a sharded cluster deployment.
Summary
- Deploy cluster components, i.e. shards and a config server
- Integrate shards with the config server
Deploy cluster components
The first step to creating your sharded cluster is to deploy cluster components.
If you run juju deploy mongodb
without specifying a role, the application will be automatically deployed as a replica set. To deploy a sharded cluster, we must manually define the roles of the individual cluster components:
juju deploy mongodb --config role="config-server" config-server
juju deploy mongodb --config role="shard" shard0
juju deploy mongodb --config role="shard" shard1
For a deeper explanation about the difference between replication and sharding see Explanation | Replication vs. sharded cluster deployments.
Use juju status --watch 1s
to wait until these components are ready.
When the components are ready, your output should look similar to the example below:

sharding-model overlord localhost/localhost 3.1.7 unsupported 19:06:51+01:00

All statuses are blocked
because the shards are not yet integrated/related with the config-server.
Integrate shards with the config server
Juju integrations are a way to connect applications such that they can communicate with one another through compatible endpoints.To integrate the shards with the config server, run
juju integrate config-server:config-server shard0:sharding
juju integrate config-server:config-server shard1:sharding
You’ll know your cluster is active and ready when juju status --watch 1s
shows all apps as active
.
