## 🚀 Enhancements
## Automatically shard documents to scale horizontally
Meilisearch can now automatically distribute documents between multiple instances using the new **sharding** feature.

> [!NOTE]
> Sharding is an advanced feature available exclusively in **Meilisearch Enterprise Edition (EE)**.
