We use it on a large Rails e-commerce site and it works well. All features work as advertised and it is a drop in replacement for mysql. Their support team is also great and is like having your own dba team.

I can also say that I've been participating in the private beta of this AWS version for a week now and it is both stable and performant. Although we use their appliance in production, I'm very excited about this AWS version as it allows us to run clustrix in our testing and staging environments (where we previously had to run mysql).

I think it's a really great thing that more people/companies will be able to use their awesome database without having to purchase an appliance.
