erlang @ amazon

well, that is cool news. amazon started a limited beta for simpleDB which is a new web service ala S3 that provides a database interface via SOAP/REST. the basis of the database engine is written in erlang. at least it is stated in this blog post. it looks like erlang is more and more in the public and gains more and more user base in the moment.

looking at simpleDB it not only has a nice erlang engine but also an interesting approach to database layout and might be a really nice addition to S3. amazon tries to become an infrastructure provider that offers backends to new business models. the big advantage of using the amazon services it the low cost and the outsourced scaling problem. you pay what you need not what you plan. this looks like a big one for future startups.
