ThruDB: Faster and Cheaper than SimpleDB

Interesting write-up. The stack is implemented in Thrift (Facebook's framework) and can be deployed on S3.

Tobias Lutke also has a post about this. http://blog.leetsoft.com/2007/12/28/futuretalk-thrudb

Cool...I was looking at the www.spread.org archives a couple days back and saw a post from the ThruDB guys about their release, using the messaging service for replication.

Is the person who created this present on news.YC?
