Mar 15, 2017 at 14:41 comment added user1822 @simo: hard to say. I would not make that dependent on the number of rows, rather then on the location of the data. If you e.g. have servers in Europe and US then I would shard the customers according to that. I don't think you need sharding for performance reasons if all nodes are local. Using many harddisks (RAID system) is usually more efficient - especially with the increasing abilities of Postgres to use multiple cores for a single query.
