Again I’ve been impressed by Amazon’s web services. This time it is a simple database made to work with S3 and EC2. It’s not as fully featured as something like MySQL, but the advantage here is reliability and availability. Hopefully we’ll start to see some projects start to use SimpleDB as an alternate backend instead of MySQL.

Amazon SimpleDB is 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 ability to store, process and query data sets in the cloud. These services are designed to make web-scale computing easier and more cost-effective for developers.
