Shards

how does sharding work: one shard can have many processes? or one process can have many shards? or one shard has only one process?

const manager = new ShardingManager('./xmain.js', { token: process.env.BOT_TOKEN });

manager.on('shardCreate', shard => {
    console.log(`Launched shard ${shard.id}`);
});

manager.spawn();

const manager = new ShardingManager('./xmain.js', { token: process.env.BOT_TOKEN });

manager.on('shardCreate', shard => {
    console.log(`Launched shard ${shard.id}`);
});

manager.spawn();

that's what im using

one process can have many shards

The default using the sharding manager is to have one manager / parent process and then one child process per shard.
