Xeround now in add-on catalog

We're very excited to welcome Xeround into the AppHarbor add-on catalog. Xeround is a cloud database, engineered from the ground up to be elastic, scalable and resilient to hardware failures. Xeround is MySQL-compatible and this lets you take advantage of all the great MySQL drivers and other tooling out there and not worry about learning new APIs or tools. The Xeround homepage has more details on what makes the service tick.

Using Xeround from your AppHarbor-hosted application is as simple as adding the add-on and then using the injected connectionstring in your app. We've written a short guide on using Xeround and we also provide a complete ASP.NET MVC sample application that you can either use to get started or look at for inspiration. It uses NHibernate and SchemaUpdate for easy configuration and hands-free automatic migrations.

Don't miss out on a great service, add the Xeround add-on) to your AppHarbor app right now.
