"SQL does not scale out to multiple databases easily, CloudDB does." I don't believe CouchDB currently does this any better than what people are doing with RDBMS like MySQL. Right now with CouchDB, there's no bult-in partitioning, so if you want to distribute documents across databases on multiple host systems, you use some sort of reverse proxy to distribute requests across hosts or application level database sharding. Both of these approaches are currently used by folks scaling out things like MySQL.
