The Drizzle database had its first stable GA release at the start of 2011. Since then we have been working on a few features taht directly relate to be able to easily produce applications that can scale.

1) True mulitenancy.
  running a database server in a Virtual Machine is an instant way to kill performance. A VM running a database server for each user doesn't scale.
  Drizzle now has a concept of CATALOGs, this can give each tenant their own namespace for databases, tables and users.
