Workload isolation using shuffle-sharding

Shuffle sharding is a technique that AWS uses to improve workload isolation by distributing customer workloads across a larger number of smaller shards, ensuring that a failure in one shard affects only a small subset of customers. This approach reduces the blast radius of failures, increases availability, and allows for more granular capacity management compared to traditional sharding methods.
