I think you might be suffering from premature optimization. Or just wildly
optimistic on your hardware needs. Postgres scales vertically extremely
well, so I'd try out a single server and add sharding complexity only
as a last resort. For scaling, you can use pgbouncer, spread the
tables and indexes across different tablespaces, and other tricks. If
money is tight, you might look into using something like EC2.
