It auto shards a database by certain keys. We decided to manually shard our database, but in the right circumstance, perhaps something as simple as Pinterest, SQL federations may solve it. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh597452.aspx

It’s like the database has outsourced it to the application…

ScaleBase (http://www.scalebase.com) (disclaimer: I work there) is a maker of a complete scale-out solution an “automatic scale-out machine” if you like. I think Pinterest story is great, and great outcome, but it’s not always the case with this complex matter, and a generic, repeatable, IT-level solution for Scale Out can make it much easier for all other “Pinterests” out there to make the right choice and enjoy the great benefits – without the tremendous efforts and labor in home-grown sharding.
