Thread: question/suggestion

Apology in advance, this is not a bug, just wanted to ask if the following
issue is being considered:



Cloud computing seems to be quickly gaining ground as a deployment
technology for web apps.

From what I see this has not been good for Postgres.  Google App Engine
cannot use Postgres and

Amazon's AWS cannot use Postgres.



I am a huge fan of Postgres and huge proponent of full-featured SQL, and
hate most of the web frameworks that inherently "dumb down" the database.



Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else is worried about this, or if anyone
is trying to bridge the gap between Postgres' architecture and the
architecture of cloud computing.

I wrote a "thought paper" on how this might be accomplished:

yet you propose dumbing down the database even farther, without any hope=20
of ACID compliance, without any transactional integrity, indeed, without=20
even really being relational ?

at least, thats what I get from my first read of it.
