Has anyone attempted to use Amazon's SimpleDB as a backend for Umbraco? Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I might go about doing that? Is it even possible? I do not have much experience with Umbraco and am trying to find a CMS that will work with our SimpleDB backend and, so far, have not had much luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
To my knowledge, no one has attempted to use SimpleDB as a datastore for Umbraco (back-office). In the core, the majority of the data-layer calls are using SQL (either SQL Server, SQL CE4 or MySQL). In my opinion I wouldn't recommend attempting this with v4.x ... I can't see what you would gain from using SimpleDB - if you are after using cloud services, then you'd be better investing your time/effort into Azure.
v5 (Jupiter) is a different story ... from what I have heard with the new data-access-layer (Hive), you could develop a provider for SimpleDB (or any other datastore). I don't know enough (technically) to explain how to do this - as v5 is not even at alpha yet and under very active development.
