(Eventually, there will be a testimonials part to the Drizzle website. However, until that time, I thought I'd share the love).
So, after digging through 80 pages of #mysqlconf, I figured I'd share with you some of the feedback that the #mysqlconf Twitter backchannel had for Drizzle. These are taken from both the libdrizzle talk and the Drizzle talk. The highest praise came from: http://twitter.com/seldo/statuses/1581788678 Oracle was the talk of the conference until Drizzle usurped it. Consensus: drizzle is made of rainbows and win. #mysqlconf We should all be proud of that. Another particularly quotable tweet: http://twitter.com/imsplitbit/statuses/1578689120 Drizzle, logging to syslog, query analyzer, gearman logging... these guys get the cloud. #mysqlconf http://twitter.com/imsplitbit/statuses/1587340014 libdrizzle... these guys get the cloud.
