Meanwhile on AWS I was using SimpleDB until recently on a small project - I make AWS NO money - but they seem to still support SimpleDB even though it is not actually marketed? It's 12 years old and can't be generating a lot of new signups because it doesn't actually show up anywhere I don't think.
Does anyone know how AWS handles depreciating items on AWS. I've yet to be bitten despite beng a long time user (S3 still going / Simple DB was going last time I needed it etc).
- cperciva 7y agoSimpleDB is indeed still up and running. Considering how it was described from the start as "retail store product catalogue" I wouldn't be surprised if AWS is keeping it around due to demand from a single large customer which starts with "A" and ends with "Retail". I wouldn't be surprised if SimpleDB has been reimplemented on top of DynamoDB though.
- kedean 7y agoAs I've understood it, AWS keeps things alive as long as someone is using it. Once they want to get rid of it, they take it off the catalog of items you can provision, and start encouraging users to move to it's successor, and once it's abandoned fully they get rid of it. That's how they've always done old ec2 instance types, for example.
