On the other hand, you have so much benefits it terms of cost and management (no indexes, backup, scalability issues) that it is worth to evaluate this option. Moreover, some ORM has adapter to simpleDB. In the ruby world, data mapper and Active Record have both this. Finally, Microsoft Sql Data Services, recently changed completly its design to move from a simpleDb-like solution to a true cloud RDBMS solution. Not sure it will be SQL:2003 compliant but it should be pretty close. Regards Hi, On the one hand, you are right, it can be a pain to switch to a cloud DB: new paradygm + less tooling.

That way I could hot-swap a Hibernate enabled app from, say, MySQL to SimpleDB with no pain! With the current ‘poor-man’s’ implementation, that is the current SimpleDB, you’re looking at having to reinvent lots of wheels for your data access. We don’t need SQL-like queries, we need SQL queries! What would make me happy would be a SQL:2003 compliant cloud database so that I could make a JDBC driver and Hibernate Dialect.
