Some tools that could help dealing with database:

  • Having a tool to move data between shards: Syncronize data between replicated shards, doing some filters with the query (maybe having a proxy between the application and the database, do some filters/analises with the data, send data to a specific shard before inserting it inside the master database.
  • Adding the support for multiple databases native for ActiveRecord 3.1.
  • Generating config file for the servers, based in the shards.yml config file.
  • A tool to analyse server configuration, server status and build the best configuration file for them. Maybe analize if the database has tables without indexes, unused tables/fields, configurations that are made database slow.
  • Web interface using sinatra to monitor all servers, seeing their performance, and monitor downs, bottlenecks, and what time in the day the database is most used, what tables, statistics, etc.
