| Trust is the biggest obstacle to winning mainstream acceptance of cloud computing. Enterprises are not going to entrust business critical applications to the cloud unless they feel confident that providers won't let them down on a range of metrics including availability, performance, governance, security, privacy and sustainability. With a set of short presentations followed by a Q&A discussion, this panel looks at what SaaS and cloud providers can and are doing to enable and assure enterprise-class cloud computing.

| It’s been a few months since I last wrote about Amazon Redshift and I thought I’d update you on some of the things we are hearing from customers. Since we launched, we’ve been adding over a hundred customers a week and are well over a thousand today. That’s pretty stunning. As far as I know, it’s unprecedented for this space. We’ve enabled our customers to save tens of millions of dollar ... read more >> |

| We love getting feedback so we can deliver the improvements and new features that really matter to our customers. You can see from the pace at which we roll out new functionality that teams across AWS take this very seriously. One of the teams that’s iterating quickly is DynamoDB. They recently launched Local Secondary Indexes and today they are re ... read more >> |

| Today, I’m thrilled to announce that we have expanded the query capabilities of DynamoDB. We call the newest capability Local Secondary Indexes (LSI). While DynamoDB already allows you to perform low-latency queries based on your table’s primary key, even at tremendous scale, LSI will now give you the ability to perform fast queries against other attributes (or columns) in you ... read more >> |

Joins are one of the fundamental relational database query operations. It is very hard to implement the join operation efficiently as there any many unknowns in the execution of the operation. In the early days much relation database research was done in understanding the complexity of performing joins, what exactly impacted their performance and which approach performed better under which co ... read more >> |

At the end of the 80's Ceri and Widom were researching the fundamentals of integrity constraints in databases. In 2000 they were invited by the VLDB conference to review 10 years of work around Constraints and Triggers with an eye on the practical application of both abstractions. The resulting paper gives a good overview of the fundamentals of both concepts.

I have been reading mainly newer papers in the beginning of this year, but it is time to get back to the basics and start reading some more historical papers again. From the time when researchers and engineers where laying the foundations for our current systems. A good early paper to start again is the Survey that Härder en Reuter did on Database Recovery in 1983.

| I spent a lot of time talking to AWS developers, many working in the gaming and mobile space, and most of them have been finding Node.js well suited for their web applications. With its asynchronous, event-driven programming model, Node.js allows these developers to handle a large number of concurrent connections with low latencies. These developers typically use EC2 instances combined with one of our database services to create web services u ... read more >> |

| Time passes very quickly around here and I hadn’t realized until recently that over a year has gone by since we launched DynamoDB. As I sat down with the DynamoDB team to review our progress over the last year, I realized that DynamoDB had surpassed even my own expectations for how easily applications could achieve massive scale and high availability with DynamoDB. Many of our customers have, with ... read more >> |

My paper to read this weekend was the Alan Demers' seminal paper on epidemic techniques for database replication.
