1 million users, each only needing their OWN data set of 100 strings (approx 255 characters each). Each accesses once each day, doing 2 reads (all data) and 1 write per day (1 string)
- mysql
- amazon EC2 + simpleDB
- amazon EC2 + flat file system (text files + php)
- amazon EC2 + sqllite – removed as it can’t handle it.
Which is fastest?
local mySQL is almost certainly going to be faster than a remote/cloud data storage, but depends on network speeds, server configuration, etc.
