https://crate.io Co-Founder here. We're participating in this game by working hard to build a fully distributed, shared-nothing SQL database.
In our vision, a app in a container is able to access the persistence layer like in SQLite - just import it. another cluster of containers - preferably having one instance node-local - takes care of the database needs.
The database is distributed and makes sure enough replicas exist on different nodes. it's easy to scale up and down, local ressources are being utilized whenever possible (no NAS/SAN like storage).
