How does Couchbase manage data sharding and load balancing?

Couchbase achieves data sharding and load balancing by automatically partitioning and distributing data. Specifically, Couchbase employs a distributed architecture to divide data into multiple shards and automatically distribute these shards within the cluster. This ensures even distribution of data within the cluster and automatically balances data distribution based on load to ensure load balancing for each node.

Couchbase also offers automatic data replication, ensuring high availability and redundancy of data. In the event of a node failure, the system will automatically retrieve the data from replicated nodes to ensure data reliability.

In summary, Couchbase leverages automatic sharding and data replication to handle data partitioning and load balancing, enhancing the scalability and stability of the system.
