SimpleDb, an introduction
The document provides an overview of Amazon SimpleDB, a NoSQL database designed for scalability and efficiency, allowing users to store and retrieve vast amounts of structured data in a schema-less manner. It highlights key features such as support for up to 1 billion attributes per domain and the use of a key-value pair structure, along with the associated costs for storage and data transfer. Additionally, it discusses the advantages of using SimpleDB, including easy indexing and distribution, while also noting some limitations such as eventual consistency and the requirement for string-only data types.
