Not to be a negative Nelly or anything, but with the speed at which Amazon is releasing this stuff, they are going to have to be a Google eventually and pull the rug out from under our feet, discontinuing several products.
- hga 12y agoMaybe they'll distinguish themselves by not doing any or very much of that at all. Do you have any candidates for service termination?

It hasn't gotten any significant update since 2010 (http://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-simpledb-consistency-enhancements/ http://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-simpledb-consistency-...) and, judging from the fact that it only gets a couple posts a month in its AWS Forums, it's very sparsely used.
