CloudDb is a web based data store, and it’s pretty cool. I got an invite a while ago from my friend Scott Cate (mykb), but didn’t really dig too much into it. Now if you follow this blog, you’d now we’ve been looking at different data storage options for various things such as content for this site. Most embedded db’s aren’t an option because it’s currently hosted in a Medium Trust environment which doesn’t allow native calls (all the embedded db’s I know require this). That pretty much killed it. We have the option of using mysql or 1 sql server database but we’d like to keep this as portable as possible. Also, there are other plans for that.
But Hey! Why not use a cloud or web based service? We want to be able to manage some content without re-deploying, and a cloud service would allow that. Yes, most of the current content are just stored in view files, but what’s the fun in that?
I’ll probably post more info when I get something together. In the meantime, click the link and watch the videos.
