As long as Xeround sticks around and does what they say they can do, I’ll never have to worry about scaling my database Never heard of that database/company before so I clicked on the link out of curiosity and guess what, their server is down. Not very reassuring for an "infinitely scalable solution".

Well damn, you're right. Looks like they were Hacker News'd. Fortunately Xeround's database servers are still up, but this is a bit disconcerting.

  I wanted to give them a try but if a scalable database company can't handle HN traffic, it makes me think twice.

    They may be using something cheap for their homepage because they (understandably) don't expect to get hit hard there.

Didn't knew about them either. Not too worried about the home page having hickups earlier as it isn't their database cloud. But, I'll definitely do some testing around this/these MySQL MySQL cloud service(s). Something I haven't looked at before and sounds too good to be true.
