Scaling MongoDB to 100K+ Writes per Second
Sustaining 100K+ writes per second in MongoDB is not a tuning trick — it is an architectural decision. This article breaks down how to design a sharded cluster using realistic Atlas hardware (32GB RAM, 8 CPU, standard storage) and achieve linear horizontal scaling through deterministic shard key distribution, clean write paths, and disciplined index strategy.
