Re: [CGUYS] Amazon Simple DB in the Cloud Now Free
What is the point of discouraging exploration and innovation? Should someone shun opportunities because success might end up costing them $5 or $10? This could be a snake in the grass for unsuspecting souls. The free 'low volume' encourages development and testing, but if you choose to let anyone on the net use your database, you could be looking at hefty charges if your database becomes popular or is attacked by a bot (Amazon would not do that, would they?). I only hope you can put max limits on the data transfer. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
[CGUYS] Amazon Simple DB in the Cloud Now Free
For a database in the cloud, Amazon on Dec 1st added a threshold for billable use. The threshold is fairly high so much useful work should be free. http://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/ * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

This is interesting, but anyone thinking of putting a lot of reliance on its being free should be aware that Amazon is only promising that it will be free for at least the first six months of the public beta. That said, the regular non-free pricing structure doesn't look very expensive for moderate use anyway. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
