There is already Amazon SimpleDB database service[1] written in Erlang, but it's kind of deprecated in favor of Amazon DynamoDB. [1] https://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/

Is there some kind of paper or public info that details the Erlang usage? I'd never heard that before!

For a half-moment, due to the way the title was capitalized, I thought this was going to be a RDBMS built in Scratch.

By a 9 year old as school project, in a war torn country, hiding in cave, running on an OG Raspberry Pi, powered by guano-fueled generator.

Thanks - very interesting! I’d always assumed it was Java, like many AWS services.

A quick question about the MIT course this student followed[1]. Am I correct in assuming that the way to follow this course would be to take the lecture notes, the assigned reading material, and simply read it before then moving on to the assignments? Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing some video/other content before I take a look into this stuff.
