I'm looking into an application which needs a highly scaleable back end database. One with low up front costs and yet won;t fall over if it suddenly takes off. I've noticed Jerry and others describing On-Rev in terms of "cloud" storage - but AFAIK it is a simple shared host, and there are no services on offer with regard to scaling or true cloud computing?
So - I am looking at using true cloud based database solutions. On-Rev would provide that administrative functions but web plugins on users own web sites would directly call the cloud computing backend. I'm looking to prototype this in revWeb and then implement the plugins in a suitable AJAX framework. It seems to be that this is now a reasonable approach to take given the existing state of these services - but I'm only reading about them and would love some feedback from others on the list. In particular I am looking at using Amazon - either their SimpleDB<http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=2552&categoryID=146>, or their Relational Database Service<http://aws.amazon.com/rds/?ref_=pe_8050_15319810>, but maybe also Google equivalent services? Anyone tried these - I've only used Amazon S3 for file storage to date? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
