The rise of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and microservices architecture has led to a major shift in software development, enabling the creation of complex, distributed systems composed of independent, loosely coupled services. These architectures offer numerous benefits, including scalability, flexibility, and resilience. However, the distributed nature of these systems introduces new challenges related to understanding, managing, and analysing their behaviour.

Inconsistent index distribution across shards in a MongoDB sharded cluster is more common than you think, and it occurs because the user creates indexes directly in the shards without using MongoS. This issue can lead to migration failures during chunk migrations, where the system cannot transfer data between shards due to index mismatches.
