Link: Amazon removes the database scaling wall (Scripting News). Dave has nailed it here. It may take a little time to mature, but there are no deal stoppers. Google and MS will not be left behind, so expect there offerings before too long.
Most (if not all) of the analysis so far has been regarding how easy this infrastructure will make it to scale then next "Twitter" (or YouTube etc.). However, the interesting thing from my perspective is how easy it will make it to scale "business computing platforms"--where I believe the next wave of innovation will come from.
Tech smart entrepreneurs (i.e. outside of technology) will find ways to transform any number of sectors in ways (and at a cost) that was heretofore not possible. It is what "the Good Doctor" has called the "because of" factor.
