Examples I have seen of S3 involve storing files. I wonder if S3 can be used as a database backend. Or I wonder if there is a hosted service offering database storage and services in simple pay-as-you-go- and-use terms.

There are some projects for Ruby client in Rubyforge, but nothing released yet, as it seems. -- Jean-François. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

As far as I know it isn''t a relational database, so I''m not sure if it would be too useful for rails applications.

I will check SimpleDB and I will check the projects at Rubyforge. And, yes, a backend with file as the basic unit of data storage (like an OS file system) has limited use if your requirement is for an RDB.
