amazon?s latest web service? a database
amazon web services evangelist jeff barr has been at it again, using twitter to announce the release of his employer's latest offering.
amazon has a long way since its days as a g book shop, and is increasingly making a name for itself as an exemplar of commodity computation.
first we had the simple storage service, s3. little more than a g disk in the cloud, it offered an affordable means by which anyone could make large amounts of data available for download by large numbers of people. second life client downloads from s3, as do talis podcasts. several of my colleagues use s3 for backing up their laptops (i use mozy myself, but that's another story).
then we got the elastic compute cloud, ec2. this commoditised availality of virtual computers, making it relatively straightforward for those experiencing rapid growth - or needing short-term access to additional computing power for some other reason - to call upon additional computers as required, configure them as needed, use them for as long as necessary, and then throw them back into the pool when done.
unsurprisingly, given amazon's e-commerce heritage, a payt service came next. this essentially opened amazon's own e-commerce capalities to third party developers, and allowed them to build it into their own applications. although we knew that this would , i should admit here that the pundits at talis (including myself) were sure that amazon's third web service would be the one they actually only announced today. given our interest in data and their interest in e-commerce, it's perhaps not surprising that we prioritised them differently.
next in the path, a service level agreet. essential, if amazon are to move beyond the early adopters and actually see m market numbers of mainstream enterprises rely upon their web services.
which brings us to today, and the unveiling of amazon simpledb. it had to , and now it has, offering;
“a web service for running queries on structured data in real time. this service works in close conjunction with amazon simple storage service (amazon s3) and amazon elastic compute cloud (amazon ec2), collectively providing the ality to store, process and query data sets in the cloud.”
it's great to see, and in some ways the conceptual use of cloud-based 'content' and 'metadata' is similar to our own ideas around the talis platform... although with very different emphasis and realisation.
and yes, i know i missed sqs and mechanical turk, and various other amazon web services from my story...

last minute west palm beach from $310
conjure your inner-trump in palm beach and marvel at posh estates and lavish get-togethers–it doesnâ??t cost a cent to look. then return to reality and seek refuge in the laid-back wiles of west palm.
editor’s favorite watering hole: in the historic neighborhood of el cid, el ba’s bar is the friday night spot where the beautiful people go to sip a few tails by the pool (regular folks are wel too).
activity we love, even if it’s touristy: spend part of your day along the intracoastal waterway in a palm beach water taxi. cruise past palm beach mansions, singer island, and the munyon islands.
chill-out spot: the norton museum of art is the largest and most prestigious museum in florida. ogle collections of european, asian, and american art, highlighting artists such as pico, pollock, hopper, van dyck, and ruscha.
get out of dodge: just 55 miles off the florida coast, grand bahama island is a relaxing day cruise away.
