sharded-counters

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides solutions for handling high-write, high-read scenarios where a single row/key cannot serialize increments, ensuring efficient counting and avoiding bottlenecks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Sharded Counters: Distribute write load across multiple physical counters for high-write scenarios.
• Approximate Counting: HyperLogLog for unique counting with low memory footprint.
• Time-Bucketed Counters: Track counts within a specific time window.
• Use Case: Use sharded counters for social media likes, where individual counts exceed a single row's serialization capacity.

Quick Start

Implement a sharded counter for likes in a social media app by defining the number of shards and using the provided increment and read functions.
