Sharding Questions

Hello, As my bot is nearly reaching the 2k servers. I need to prepare it to sharding but I have some questions to that : As I use a system like that :

const global_variables = {
    /*For the users actually using the bot*/ plays: {} , /*For all users database*/users: {}, /*A cache containing songs that were played before */searchCache: []
}

module.exports = {
    global_variables,
}

const global_variables = {
    /*For the users actually using the bot*/ plays: {} , /*For all users database*/users: {}, /*A cache containing songs that were played before */searchCache: []
}

module.exports = {
    global_variables,
}

Then I get all the values I need from that const. But as sharding is splitting my code in multiple processes, to gain performance I want these to be centralized in one file and accessible for all the shards at the same time without them to have each one a copy of that data. I made this system to generate less database calls but if each process need to call the database and save his part I will need to change that. Thanks !

I would’ve made a class that manages that One that can cache stuff and make db calls only when necessary You could also consider using Redis

Interesting, I'll try that, thanks Well I think he's not really a resource gourmand but as it's a Music Bot I don't know how it will handle in more than 1000 calls at the same time Yeah I know redis but I don't want to increase the amount of operation Local files and distant files Including Radio files
