“We, um, basically sharded it and it kind of worked, so the team was happy with that.”
“We” hides your decision. No numbers, no failure mode, and the trade-off you mentioned earlier never came back.
Say instead: “I sharded by tenant. It cut p99 from 1.8s to 300ms, and the cost was cross-tenant reporting, which I moved to a nightly job.”
