Comparing two Claude Code skills for databases. Below: side-by-side facts, then a verdict you can disagree with.
Side by side
Database sharding for PostgreSQL/MySQL with hash/range/directory strategies. Use for horizontal scaling, multi-tenant isolation, billions of records, or encountering wrong shard keys, hotspots, cross-shard transactions, rebalancing issues.
FastMCP Python framework for MCP servers with tools, resources, storage backends (memory/disk/Redis/DynamoDB). Use for Claude tool exposure, OAuth Proxy, cloud deployment, or encountering storage, lifespan, middleware, circular import, async errors.
