How to Convert Data with Scaling for Database Optimization in Python

A beginner-friendly helper that normalizes and scales numeric fields in a list of dicts, reducing storage footprint for database efficiency.

data conversion database scaling

Python

import json
from datetime import datetime

def convert_data(data: list[dict], scale_factor: int = 1) -> list[dict]:
    """Convert a list of dicts to a scaled, normalized format for database efficiency."""
    converted = []
    for row in data:
        normalized = {}
        for key, value in row.items():

How to mock directory-based sharding in Python

Simulates distributing files into logical shards using a deterministic hash of each filename, mocking how a database might shard rows across nodes.

sharding hash partitioning

Python

import os
import hashlib
from collections import defaultdict
from pathlib import Path


def get_shard_for_key(key: str, num_shards: int) -> int:
    """Return a deterministic shard index (0..num_shards-1) for a key."""
    digest = hashlib.md5(key.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()
    return int(digest, 16) % num_shards
