Short description
Use Amazon's SimpleDB as a storage backend with ActiveResource

Description
= AwsSdbProxy AwsSdbProxy is a HTTP proxy server bridging ActiveResource calls from Rails to Amazon's SimpleDB Web Service allowing SimpleDB to be used as a storage backend for Rails applications. The proxy will listen on a configurable port for web service calls initiated by ActiveResource models and forward the requests to SimpleDB using the aws-sdb Gem by Tim Dysinger. == Installation Install the AwsSdbProxy plugin from Rubyforge[http://www.rubyforge.org] as usual: script/plugin install http://rug-b.rubyforge.org/svn/aws_sdb_proxy == Setup and Usage 1. Enter your Amazon Web Service credentials in the config/aws_sdb_proxy.yml config file (optionally configure server ports and a salt used to hash primary keys from the record content). 2. Check your available SimpleDB domains with <tt>rake aws_sdb:list_domains</tt> and create a new one with <tt>rake aws_sdb:create_domain DOMAIN=my_new_domain</tt> if necessary. 3. Start the AwsSdbProxy server with <tt>rake aws_sdb:start_proxy_in_foreground</tt>. (Once things are configured correctly you can also use <tt>rake aws_sdb:start_proxy</tt> to start the server as a background daemon.) 4. Connect any ActiveResource model to your SimpleDB domain, e.g. class Post < ActiveResource::Base self.site = "http://localhost:8888" # AwsSdbProxy host + port self.prefix = "/my_new_domain/" # use your SimpleDB domain enclosed in /s end 5. Use your model just like any ActiveResource model in your application or try it in <tt>script/console</tt>, e.g. >> p = Post.create(:title => 'My first SimpleDB post') => #<Post:0x198ceec @prefix_options={}, @attributes={"updated_at"=> Sun Jan 20 00:42:43 UTC 2008, "title"=>"My first SimpleDB post", "id"=>1081408...01005954, "created_at"=>Sun Jan 20 00:42:43 UTC 2008}> >> p.body = 'Content is king' => "Content is king" >> p.save => true >> Post.find(:first, :params => { :title => 'My first SimpleDB post' }) => #<Post:0x18efef8 @prefix_options={}, @attributes={"updated_at"=> Sun Jan 20 00:45:28 UTC 2008, "title"=>"My first SimpleDB post", "body"=>"Content is king", "id"=>1081408...01005954, "created_at"=> Sun Jan 20 00:42:43 UTC 2008}> == Background As you may have noticed SimpleDB (and thus AwsSdbProxy) do not use any pre-defined schema. Every record can potentially have different attributes. SimpleDB also has no data types associated with it's attributes, all data will be stored as strings. AwsSdbProxy adds a special <tt>_resource</tt> attribute to distinguish diffent models within the same SimpleDB domain and also adds and handles the usual <tt>created_at</tt> and <tt>updated_at</tt> attributes. Record ids are generated using a SHA512 hash function to make key collisions extremely unlikely. Copyright (c) 2008 mailto:martin.rehfeld@glnetworks.de, released under the MIT license
