I really wonder, if MySQL had better write performance, would sharding be as much in vogue?
Interesting question, ultimately I think the answer is yes for three reasons.
1) Sharding helps with more than just performance issues.
2) Even the most efficient write performance would still bottleneck at a certain scale.
3) Everyone likes to think that they will reach the scale at which point that bottleneck occurs.
