Great suggestions, thanks Jay. However, I'm looking for something with local storage so I can code/test/demo the app while I'm away from the net (e.g., on a plane or at my mom's house). Maybe something like gdbm is a good option? But there are a bunch of Berkley DB-derived libraries; how do I choose?<br>
<br>(I was hoping someone knew of a slick module that would let me abstract away the storage mechanism and switch from local to net-based storage arbitrarily.)<br><br>- djb<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 4:52 PM, Jay Hannah <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jhannah@mutationgrid.com">jhannah@mutationgrid.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I've played around with Amazon EC2 Linux nodes, but I haven't used their storage engines.<br>
<br>
For development, Micro EC2 Linux nodes are basically free ($0.02/hour), especially if you shut them down overnight (whenever you're not coding). Or, perhaps you prefer literally free: <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/free/" target="_blank">http://aws.amazon.com/free/</a><br>
<br>
I'd launch an EC2 instance (Debian Linux), stick Catalyst and Template Toolkit on top of that, and go to town. Searching CPAN for "amazon s3" and "amazon simpledb" seems to show various options.<br>
<br>
Did that help?<br>
