Overall Satisfaction with Amazon SimpleDB

Amazon SimpleDB and DynamoDB are some of the options available to us for the implementation of non-relational databases. In our application development area, depending on the need, we implement non-relational database services for different projects and different clients, and we solve in a great way all persistence management and database management.

Pros

  • Flexibility
  • Easy to learn and use
  • AWS integration

Cons

  • Non AWS environments
  • Strict storage limit (but well we have DynamoDB for storage issues)
  • Reduced database administration time
  • Reduced data model analysis time
  • Lower cost of resources in projects in general
It integrates beautifully with AWS. In some projects we use SimpleDB while we use DynamoDB for others, according to the characteristics of the project. If the infrastructure is AWS, we always think of one of them.
Well suited for: Games, Chat rooms, real time software like corporate events, marathons and so. Anytime and anywhere you could use a NoSQL DB you should think of SimpleDB.
As an arduous AWS user, Amazon SimpleDB easily integrates with EC2 and other AWS module; and if you are not an AWS user, you also have a fantastic tool that will solve the problem for which you are focused.
