I have been bad at following blogs recently. Today, I revisited some of my favorite ones and saw the reference to Amazon‘s upcoming ‘Dynamo’ service in Werner‘s blog. This is very very interesting. I guess it’s going to be a service on the cloud for application state management. I wonder whether they are going to have some synchronization/versioning story so as to enable offline access.
And then, the Flexible Payment Service.
We knew already that Amazon was becoming a Web platform company so I am not surprised with these services. Very cool.
Update: For those not following the comments on my blog, Werner updated his blog entry to clarify that it’s just a write up of an internal service. It’d been cool to offer distributed application state management (not just data storage like S3) as a service, though 🙂 I am looking forward to the paper.

Nope, Dynamo is an internal only service. We just happen to write up its architecture for the upcoming SOSP.
Updated the original blog posting to avoid further confusion.
