About

Shard is created and maintained by Pierre Ricadat.

It was initially developed at Devsisters under the name Shardcake, by the team behind the popular game Cookie Run: Kingdom, where it has been used in production since March 2022.

Shard was developed after years of experience with Akka Cluster Sharding. Even though the code has nothing in common with Akka, credit goes to them for some of the ideas and concepts.

My other projects:

• Caliban, a purely functional GraphQL library for Scala
• Proteus, a code-first Protobuf and gRPC library for Scala
• PureLogic, a direct-style, pure domain logic library for Scala
• Sage, a Redis & Valkey client for Scala 3

If you find Shard useful, consider sponsoring me on GitHub to support continued development.
