SHUFFLE-SHARD EVERYTHING

Summary from the TLDR IT newsletter

Shuffle-sharding is a low-cost way to reduce noisy-neighbor blast radius in multitenant systems by assigning tenants to overlapping subsets of workers rather than fixed shards. The technique lowers the chance tenants share identical resources without extra hardware. It requires tolerance for partial degradation and, for ordered workloads, consistent hashing by resource.
