I'm trying to understand how to calculate shards. I know sharding is a way to divide a large database into smaller, more manageable parts, but I'm not sure about the specifics of the calculation process. Can someone explain the steps or provide a formula for determining the number of shards?

It is prudent to monitor your nodes regularly to ensure they adhere to these guidelines.

The capacity of shards that a data node can accommodate directly correlates with the node's heap memory.

Specifically, a node equipped with 30GB of heap memory should ideally not exceed 600 shards.

Should your nodes surpass the recommended shard limit per GB, it might be necessary to introduce additional nodes to distribute the load.

Maintaining a lower shard count relative to this threshold is advantageous for optimal performance.
