We listened to the community and made our database available on AWS. We're currently working on making it available as standalone outside of AWS as well.

Congrats guys! It should be mentioned that Clustrix was part of YC's W06 batch.

So, there's Amazon Redshift (which is cloud-postgres) https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/

and now there's Clustrix (which is cloud-mysql)

I dislike the auto-sales chat.

does anyone know more about their "unique parallel query approach that generates distributed query plans and query fragments for speed and scale." ? I'm not going to trust a database which internals (or at least core mechanisms) I don't understand. Any links to papers perhaps?

Does anyone here have direct customer experience with Clustrix? If so, I would be very interested in hearing honest customer feedback.

I wonder if that's just mongodb-style sharding

This makes their scalable DB very accessible. This is cool.
