+#### Automatic stream sharding is enabled by default
+
+Automatic stream sharding helps keep write load from high volume streams balanced across ingesters and helps to avoid hot-spotting. Check out the [operations page](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/operations/automatic-stream-sharding/) for more information

 #### Write dedupe cache is deprecated
 Write dedupe cache is deprecated because it not required by the newer single store indexes ([TSDB]({{< relref "../../operations/storage/tsdb" >}}) and [boltdb-shipper]({{< relref "../../operations/storage/boltdb-shipper" >}})).
 If you using a [legacy index type]({{< relref "../../storage#index-storage" >}}), consider migrating to TSDB (recommended).
