On my quest to find an affordable way to scale database in the cloud, I find out about OrientDB. It seems like a super flexible DB NoSQL solution with ACID transactions, fast indexes, native SQL queries and much more. The best thing about it is that its free!
What I still think is missing is auto sharding feature. I've read on their forums (Google group) that they are working on it and it should come out very soon. They said September so I thought I should already see it, but can't find information about it online.
I've realized that in order to have an affordable scalable NoSQL solution I either should implement a sharding solution myself or search for an open source one. All the other solution that I've searched for (hosted ones) are very very expensive, and are targeted for small/medium -size businesses, not for a single developer like me who want an affordable solution to start with.
I will continue my search to find our more about OrientDB and read about its cons and pros. I recommend keeping an eye on this project. It's not popular and doesn't get a lot of coverage on the web, but looks like a very promising solution for any type of DB needs.
Update:
All the auto sharding and related features will be ready by December 2012/January 2013! - check this post on Google groups and on stackoverflow.
