Does AgensGraph support sharding?

I'm using AgensGraph Community edition on my server.
And I have a question. Does AgensGraph support sharding?
If not, how does AgensGraph support a distributed environment?
Or.. is there any workaround for that?

Solution

  • Sharding support comes with PostgreSQL 11 whereas AgensGraph is currently a fork off 10.4 that does not support sharding.

    PostgreSQL is not natively distributed before sharding in 11. Here's a good article https://www.quora.com/Is-PostgreSQL-a-distributed-and-scalable-database

    The Enterprise edition (license fee applies) of AG supports HA via Stolon.
