Database Alternatives

March 25, 2009

I did not like the title of this article, “Slacker Databases Break All the Old Rules” here. I skipped the title and went directly to the write up, and I strongly recommend that you navigate to the article, read it, and save it in your useful info slide. The write up by Peter Wayner explains and to some depth analyzes the following data management tools:

  • Amazon’s SimpleDB
  • Apache’s CloudDB
  • Google’s App Engine
  • Persevere.

Take away: InfoWorld sees these as experiments. I see them as the future.

    I think you meant Apache CouchDB — http://couchdb.apache.org/

    Otis,

    The addled goose apologizes for its web footed typing errors.
