Amazon SimpleDB is a non-relational data store that allows users to store and query data items without database administration. It creates and manages multiple replicas for high availability and durability, automatically indexes data, and has little administrative burden around infrastructure, maintenance, or performance tuning. Data is organized into domains which contain attribute-value pairs.
