Announcing Thrudb EC2 Public AMIs

We’ve been doing some exploration of Jake’s Thrudb project as an alternative to cramming document-oriented blobs into a database. Thrudb is built on top of Facebook’s Thrift framework and is designed to provide document storage and indexing. It’ is also an alternative to Amazon’s recently announced SimpleDB which Jake has provided some commentary on.

Thrudb is targeted towards Amazon’s EC2 infrastructure. Unfortunately getting an EC2 instance with Thrift, Thrudb, memcached, Spread and CLucene configured, built and deployed is quite a time investment for someone casually exploring Thrudb. As a result, and to thank Jake for all his support along the way, we’re making two EC2 public images available. Both are ready to go for those interested in checking out Thrudb.

If you plan on using the 32-bit, small or using Starbucks nomenclature “Tall” Amazon EC2 instance you’ll want to use ami-e926c380. If you want to run the “Grande” or “Venti” instances, you’ll need the 64-bit version: ami-1626c37f . Both images are CentOS based.

You’ll also probably want to read the Thrudb Technical Document and then check out the tutorial which is available in Ruby, Perl, PHP and Java.

Enjoy and thanks again Jake!

    Thanks guys!

    I’m so glad you have been exploring Thrudb. You have helped bring the project to another level and I think with these public ami’s will help other people get started much faster.

    Well, to be honest, I think ThruDB can give Amazon’s SimpleDB a run for it’s money. (It does help that ThruDB is free, of course!) The new DISK+S3 back end engine is one sweet feature..

    The combination of Thrift, Thrudb, memcached, Spread and Lucene, makes a web-oriented developer’s mouth water!

    It’s awesome that you’re making the images publicly available.

    Posted a review of ThruDB yesterday, for those interested in learning more about the project: Thrudb – faster, cheaper than SimpleDB.

    Go Jake go!

    Hi, I installed the AIM, how do I work out – or what is – the root user and password? Sorry, first time with EC2, got it working with RightScale

  • http://buzzpressure.com Jeff

    Phil,

    The root user is disabled. When you start the instance using the image, you need to specify your keyfile and then use your credentials.

    Would it be possible to post your procedure for building the Centos Thrudb images?

    The AMI’s are great! But we will likely be doing some implementations that do not use the Amazon Web Services.

    It would be great to eventually see Thrudb integrated with a package manager like Yum to automate everything but until then…

    Thanks,
