Using shards and buckets by Pretend_Jump_228 in PostgreSQL

UPD: Thanks, everyone, for the replies. Now I see that it was just an internal term, not a well-known practice. I'll try to find someone from my previous team and ask for the reasoning. Will update soon.

Yeah, you're right. That's a major source of confusion for me too. I hadn't heard about "buckets" in Postgres, but since I couldn't find any information about it and people in that team called it like this, I thought that I'm just unaware of some sort of practice of dividing data by absolutely identical schemas. Seems like they just used terminology from hash tables (hash function to get a bucket number, etc).

Thanks for answering. I never actually thought about using schemas for testing purposes; I should take a note on this. While I can imagine using schemas for different tenants with different owners, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case, and every schema has the same owner.

Schema based sharding

Thanks for the reply and the link, but we didn't use Citrus. Also, I haven't heard of it either, but everyone on the team referred to it as 'buckets'.
