> SimpleDB is deprecated It actually doesn't appear to be officially deprecated at all, although perhaps it is considered feature complete: http://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/ http://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/ However, Amazon seems to ignore questions as to its status which tends to make me wary as well.

The page is still up, and AWS is obviously still running the service (and will as long as customers keep using it), but it's not linked from anywhere. Here's a list of all the AWS services (https://aws.amazon.com/products/ https://aws.amazon.com/products/) and it's not listed. If you look at the developer guide, it hasn't been updated in three years. It may not be officially deprecated, but a service tat hasn't been touched in three years, which AWS will only tell you about if asked very specifically, makes me not want to use it as a foundation for any new services.

  As far as I recall there was a small update in SimpleDB just a few months ago.

    According to the doc revision history: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonSimpleDB/latest/DeveloperGuide/DocumentHistory.html http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonSimpleDB/latest/DeveloperGu... the last update to the developer guide was 2012. According to the release notes: http://aws.amazon.com/releasenotes/Amazon-SimpleDB http://aws.amazon.com/releasenotes/Amazon-SimpleDB the last update to the service was 2011

      I'm sure I saw some limit update or something recently. Will dig it out in a bit.
