Neither one will save you if you don’t rethink your schema, sharding keys, sequences, queries, and migration process. We walk through every corner with a clear-eyed approach — from choosing sharding keys and colocated tables to CDC, topologies, and foreign key constraints — showing where performance really improves, where it gets more expensive, and how to deal with it.
