Note that Shane developed a sharding solution a year ago with me. It provides container-level partitioning. http://svn.zope.org/z3c.sharding/trunk This in combination with the encryption work that we did for the ZODB makes the ZODB actually be a lot more advanced than some of the new comers. I am very intrigued now to setup an EC2 cluster and install a z3c.sharding based solution demonstrating 100M users with some data. Mmmh...
