Ask HN: What are your experiences with Amazon SimpleDB?
More specifically, does anyone use SimpleDB for a web application? I was experimenting with it earlier today and found that round-trip queries take about 6-7 seconds. On this basis alone I turned to MySQL.
Unless you need storage (in which case you should probably turn to S3), why would you use something that is just so damn slow?
- amund 17y agoIf you use it from an EC2 node it is typically faster, in the experiment on http://atbrox.com/2009/10/27/unstructuredsearchforsimpledb/ http://atbrox.com/2009/10/27/unstructuredsearchforsimpledb/ I got around 20ms query latency.
