At xmog we’re working on a project for Advanta that requires fast searching over millions of records. Luckily for us, Lucene is disgustingly good and makes the whole process relatively simple.
The reason I mention this is because Amazon’s Elastic Block Storage was released today – finally, persistent non-S3 storage inside the compute cloud. We could slap Hadoop and a database and webserver on that bitch and be ready to roll. Great stuff, really excited to see old-fashioned webhosting die.
Lots of Data
