inside looking out � What You Need To Know About Amazon SimpleDB

inside looking out � What You Need To Know About Amazon SimpleDB:

"What’s cool about SimpleDB
* Really large data sets
* Really Fast
* Highly Available - It’s Amazon. Running Erlang. Whoa.
* On demand scaling - Like S3, EC2, with a sensible data metering pricing model
* Schemaless - major cool factor for me here; items are little hash tables containing sets of key, value pairs"
