Drizzle MicroKernel aims to provide a database with further ease of use by focusing on modern applications and the web. It uses an open source methodology with everything in the codebase being public. The highlights include having over 80 code contributors from 4 companies, 41 language translations, and passing all test cases, though upgrades still require reloading and replication is still under testing. Rackspace has committed to using Drizzle in its cloud platform to help it succeed for both their needs and the community.
