One interesting challenge I've been hearing a lot lately in accounting tech is that some accounts become a hotspot and slow down overall transactions. For example, you might take a commission on all transactions and you track that commission in a company-related account.

I'm curious how folks using a generic SQL or document database solve this.




In your example, setup a per-department commission account for general use then move those balances to the company wide account periodically.


Sharting.

edit: Wrong thread, sharding.
