How to scale database service in Cloudfoundry?

I'd like to know how to scale database service in Cloudfoundry properly. As for know I've come up with two potential approaches and I need to know which one is right (or maybe neither of them).

  1. Deploy a database cluster outside CF and bind it to the application as a user-provided service
  2. Bind several service instances to the application and somehow switch between them. I'm not sure that it makes sense, however.

UPD: I'm using open source Cloudfoundry distribution, so I can't use any of products that are intended for usage with Pivotal Cloud foundry distribution.

Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You will need to create or use a service that explicitly supports clustering and replication.

For example, Pivotal distributes a HA version of the MySQL service that allows you to decide how many instances/VMs to provision in your cluster:
