There is already Amazon SimpleDB database service[1] written in Erlang, but it's kind of deprecated in favor of Amazon DynamoDB.

Ah yes, by the time I realized this it was too late to rename unfortunately. And very neat how Amazon SimpleDB is written in Erlang!

Is there some kind of paper or public info that details the Erlang usage? I'd never heard that before!

Thanks - very interesting! I’d always assumed it was Java, like many AWS services.
