We've added RDS to SimpleDeployr

We're excited to announce that SimpleDeployr now supports Amazon's Relational Database Service (RDS)!

Following our one-click mantra, with just a single click you can launch a new RDS instance that is ready for your migrations and data import.

If you aren't familiar with RDS, it is Amazon's MySQL cloud service that provides a fully functioning MySQL database in the cloud while taking care of a lot of the tedious tasks for you.  Wedded with SimpleDeployr, you can now get a scalable RDBMS solution up and running with a single click!

Obviously, we love the cloud, so naturally RDS is a great alternative to dealing with your own MySQL database instances.  However, don't forget, you can still build apps without a relational database!  If you're working with Rails, check out SimpleRecord, our ActiveRecord-compliant interface to SimpleDB.  We've used this strategy at Appoxy many times over and love not dealing with schemas, scaling, etc.

As always, thank you to all our loyal SimpleDeployr users, and stay tuned for some very exciting announcements soon!
