Thanks for the second post also.

Really interesting to hear your experience on GoGrid - I left there as it really just didn't work for me - we had slow disk access problems even when the database wasn't on a virtual disk.

Also interesting to read about your automated build and deployment - thanks for posting!

Thank you for sharing your experience, was nice reading!

I'm think about developing an Web Application with Asp.Net MVC, Ajax, Rest Apis (first just called by the Webservers), Memcached and MySQL for the Amazon Cloud.

Was Asp.Net MVC the right choice for you?

Reading your Article was wondering if the Amazon Solution is right for me.
Would be nice if you could give me more Details about your problems with Amazon:
How much slower is the Database on an Virtual Instance? (0%-20%, 20%-50%, 50%-100%)
Perhaps holding most of my Data in Cache the Database Issue is not so big.
Was the handling of the EC2 Instances hard?
What other problems did you have?

If you have good books you could suggest to me I, it would be nice!

Gruß Timo

p.S. by the way Amazon now runs WinServer 2008

Not right now but that is something that I am looking into.

The website is using joomla but the yonkly application itself is built
with asp.net mvc.

Why does yonkly have the meta generation by joomla tag at the top of the page and several php file references? Just wondering where asp.net mvc is being used in your app.

You might want to check out aria systems for your subscription billing. They're pretty solid.

Great question. I don't have a lot of experience with db redundancy but I
do like the idea of setting up a virtual db server and cluster it with the
real server. That would be a nice safety measure.
My understanding is that SQL Server clustering is super easy to setup but
that's based of Microsoft presentations, marketing materials and demos :)

I didn't talk about my backup strategy. My database is backed up everyday
remotely to AWS S3 storage. My source code is also backed up to AWS and is
also in source control.

Is the next step the redundancy of the DB server (maybe a virtual instance only in case of) ?
Do you have any experience on that part (DB redundancy) on the windows platform ?
