LudicrousDB is an advanced database interface for WordPress that completely replaces its built-in database functionality.

The main differences are:

Connects to an arbitrary number of database servers
Inspects each query to determine the appropriate database
Designed specifically for large, multi-site, high-availability environments

It supports:

Read and write servers (replication)
Configurable priority for reading and writing
Local and remote data-centers
Private and public networks
Different tables on different databases/hosts
Smart post-write primary reads
Fail-over for downed host
Advanced statistics for profiling

It is based on the code currently used in production on WordPress.com & WordPress.org, with many database servers spanning multiple data-centers.

It was originally forked from HyperDB.
