Ahead in the Cloud
My opening slide for tomorrow's keynote at the MySQL Conference has this feel of speed and excitement to it that represents the current progress towards Cloud Computing. Persistent Storage for EC2 will be an important part of the presentation, but I'll mainly focus on general non-functional lesson from building large-scale services.

I was really looking forward to this talk, and am sorry to say that I'm going to miss it. I'm staying in Seattle to help get our teams ready for the Web2.0 Expo next week.

Great opener, Werner!
Looks fantastic. A really nice image, nice 'edge' with the motion blur and dangerous middle-of-the-road position, and just a lovely play on words. Speed, danger, energy, focus. Nice.
To improve it a little, practically, I'd suggest adding the date & event to this title, and aesthetically, perhaps possibly. centering your name and job title, and having slightly less leading (bring the name and title closer together spatially).
David, great suggestions. Thanks.
I was at the keynote last Tuesday.
Your presentation was great and some of it raises interesting questions about how well can we be at using and composing thousand of services.

Hi Werner
I wanted to bring to your attention an interesting approach for integrating SimpleDB with In-memory front-end known as Data-Grid. I refer to that approach as Persistence as a Service.
The combination of the two technologies fits nicely under the context of EC2 and cloud environment as it enables to decouple the application from the underlying data store. The SimpleDB/DataGrid integration is available as an OpenSource project here
The principles for achieving performance, reliability and scalability with this approach is similar to the ones described in one of my recent posts: Scaling Out MySQL
I would be very interested to get your view on this approach.
