Re: [PhillyOnRails] Amazon's SimpleDB, let's talk about it


Lots of similarities to bigtable/hbase. It certainly won't replace an RDBMS or even couch in your architecture. Particularly because of the eventual consistency limitations. If your application called for semi-structured data, frequent reads, and only batch updates then it'd come in real handy.

Hi Philly,

SimpleDB is public now. It seems to fall somewhere between a RDBMS and
Couch, and it runs only on Amazon Web Services.

What do people think?
