1 They also announced a few new features: a SQL-like SELECT API as well as a Batch Put operation to streamline uploading of multiple items or attributes . [sent-10, score-0.149]

2 Update 32 : You can now get all attributes for a property when querying . [sent-18, score-0.154]

3 Previously only the ID was returned and the attributes had to be returned in separate calls. [sent-19, score-0.22]

4 Update 30 : Amazon SimpleDB - A distributed, highly-scalable, light-weight, query-able, attribute store by Sebastian Stadil . [sent-25, score-0.179]

6 Update 25: Nati Shalom thinks SDB isn't even a database . [sent-36, score-0.134]

7 It provides a memcached layer in front of a database storing data in S3. [sent-38, score-0.108]

8 Update 22: On an Erlang email list Jim Larson says the proper model is to store bulk data in S3 and indexable metadata in SimpleDB. [sent-41, score-0.214]

9 Update 20: Grow some stones, smoothspan says Eventual Consistency Is Not That Scary . [sent-45, score-0.12]

12 Update 11: DBA4Life says Amazon has just flux capacited us back to 1980s style database management. [sent-60, score-0.102]

13 CouchDB supports JSON data types and SimpleDB thinks everything is a string. [sent-74, score-0.081]

14 Update 3: Marcelo Calbucci thinks SimpleDB is more of a directory service than a database because records can contain different attributes (no schema) and attributes can have multiple values. [sent-81, score-0.33]

15 He thinks most queries will be easy to convert as they are predominantly hash like lookups anyway. [sent-83, score-0.206]

16 The cherry missing from Amazon's AWS hot fudge sundae was a database service. [sent-92, score-0.15]

17 They had a CPU scoop with EC2, they had storage scoop with S3, they had a work distribution scoop with their queue, but the database cherry was missing. [sent-93, score-0.609]

18 It seems to be a simple properties like store implemented on Erlang (as is CouchDB). [sent-98, score-0.104]

19 Most high speed websites use a property store for unstructured data and that's been hard for smaller groups to implement at scale. [sent-107, score-0.16]

Introduction: In an audacious move for such an established property, Netflix is moving their website out of the comfort of their own datacenter and into the wilds of the Amazon cloud. This paper by Netflix's Siddharth “Sid” Anand, Netflix’s Transition to High-Availability Storage Systems , gives a detailed look at this transition and does a deep dive on SimpleDB best practices, focussing especially on techniques useful to those who are making the move from a RDBMS. Sid is going to give a talk at QCon based on this paper and he would appreciate your feedback. So if you have any comments or thoughts please comment here or email Sid at r39132@hotmail.com  or Twitter at @r39132 Here's the introduction from the paper: Circa late 2008, Netflix had a single data center. This single data center raised a few concerns. As a single-point-of-failure (a.k.a. SPOF), it represented a liability – data center outages meant interruptions to service and negative customer impact. Additionally, with growth in both

Introduction: Not surprisingly opinions on SimpleDB vary from it sucks, don't take my database, to it will change the world, who needs a database anyway? From a quick survey of the blogosphere , here's where SimpleDB stands at the moment: SimpleDB Cons No SLA. We don't know how reliable it will be, how fast it will be, or how consistent the performance will be. Consistency constraints are relaxed. Reading data immediately after a write may not reflect the latest updates. To programmers used to transactions, this may be surprising, but many people think this is one of the tradeoffs that needs to be made to scale. Database is a core competency. If you don't control your database you can't out compete your competition. When your database is out of your control you can't guarantee it will work properly. You can't create the proper indexes and other optimizations. No join or IN operator. You'll need to do multiple client side calls to simulate joins, which will be slow. No

Introduction: Can you really create an infinitely scalable infrastructure for less than $100 using Amazon's storage, grid, and queuing services platform? It appears so, at least for the right application. Amazon beams a spot light on the future battle of the roll-your-own versus the connect-the-dots approach to building next generation websites using core external services. Their argument is strong. Using Amazon's platform you can quickly build an infrastructure that would otherwise take an eternity to make, a pile of money to create, and an unbounded mass of people to implement and maintain. Yet Amazon doesn't provide SLAs, so you can you really trust them with your crown jewels? Facebook recently leap frogged Amazon's vision with an even more comprehensive set of services. The battle for the future is on. Site: http://aws.amazon.com/ Information Sources Slides: Building Highly Scalable Web Applications Podcast: Technometria: Amazon Web Services Amazon Services Home .

Introduction: At the heart of every software adventure exists a journey in service of a quest. Melodramatic much? Sorry, but while wandering dazzled through Race to the End of the Earth , a fantastic exhibit at the Royal BC Museum on the 1911-1912 race to the South Pole between Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and British naval officer Robert Scott , I couldn’t help but think of the two radically different approaches each team took to the race and it shocked me to see that some of the same principles that lead to success or failure in software development also seem to lead to success or failure in exploration. I wish I could reproduce the experience of walking through the exhibit . Plaque after plaque I remember wondering out loud at Scott’s choices and then nod in agreement with Amundsen’s approach. The core conflict was straight out of any ancient Agile (Amundsen) vs Waterfall (Scott) thread you can find on Usenet. And Waterfall lost. As background here are some sources you may want
