mongodb sharding key selection

[balakumaran_k]

Hi,

I thought of trying the mongo db sharding topology with AEM. Since i don't have much insight on the schema of aem repository collection, I have confusion on selecting key for sharding process. Can anyone suggest/share how to proceed?

PS:  I have read and understand the sharding and how to configure in mongo db perspective.

Thanks,

I am not sure there is any Adobe docs that describe this use case - found stuff on this from mongo docs - On Selecting a Shard Key for MongoDB | MongoDB

AEM (only author instances) with MongoDB only supports replica-set architecture. Sharding is not supported.
