huge low-latency ocaml cluster?

huge low-latency ocaml cluster?

[Joel Reymont]

Does anyone have an API for Amazon EC2, S3 or SimpleDB?

I need to write an app to push content to hundreds of thousands
of users, connected to a bunch of servers. Think liveblogging.
You push a button and your post needs to be in front of eager
readers within a couple of seconds.

The client-facing interface is Flash sockets and HTTP.

I'm thinking of allocating up to 10k users per server so
clustering is a must. I haven't decided how to ago about it
but I'm wondering if it's time to resurrect Ensemble [1,2]!

Any advice or suggestions?

	Thanks, Joel

Hello list,

This post is quite old by now, but as I need a binding to Amazon SimpleDB
I've just started a (very basic and naive) library to handle calls to this
amazon web service. It's hosted here :
http://code.google.com/p/simpledb-ec2-ocaml, feel free to push your
implementation if you finally wrote sth; or if anyone wants to contribute !

All the best,

William
