Abstract

A hosted application gateway server node may be communicatively coupled to backend systems, client devices, and database shards associated with database servers. Through the gateway server node, various services may be provided to managed containers running on client devices such that enterprise applications can be centrally managed. A sharding manager may manage relationships of database items across database shards. Each shard stores a copy of a table representing a split of a relationship. A shard ID mask is included in each item's ID. At query time, the shard ID can be extracted and used to query the correct database. This query routing mechanism allows navigation from one shard to another when multiple items are in a relationship (e.g., share the same resource such as a document). As such, embodiments can eliminate the need for APIs to join in data that span multiple shards.
