Remember when we said that Microsoft Store version should be Time to check and update. Open Microsoft Store and click on the Library button. Then click on Get updates button to update everything. Once the updates are finished installing, click on the profile icon and select App settings to check the Microsoft Store version number. This is going to be a little tricky, but if you follow the steps carefully, everything should sail smoothly. Open the Start menu and search for Turn Windows features on or off.
The reason why we disable Hyper-V is that it may cause a conflict with other virtualization apps , in this case, the one we need to run Windows Subsystem for Android. Open Microsoft Store and search for Amazon Appstore.
Click on the Install button to begin the installation process. In my case, you will notice the Open button instead as I already have the app installed. Follow the on-screen instructions after that and then reboot the computer when asked to do it. Most popular apps are already there. AWS itself also seems to struggle with this. If you look at the featured use cases, they mention logging, online games, and metadata indexing. Metadata indexing is a very good pattern of applying SimpleDB to your problem; you can have data stored in S3 and use SimpleDB domains to store pointers to S3 objects with more information about them metadata.
It is very quick and easy to search and query this metadata. Another class of problems SimpleDB is perfect for is sharing information between isolated components of your application decoupling. A SimpleDB item is limited in size, but you can use S3 for storing bigger objects, for example images and videos, and point to them from SimpleDB.
You could call this metadata indexing. This is our favorite use of SimpleDB so far. Loosely coupled components share information, but are otherwise independent. Suppose you have a big system and you suddenly realize you need to scale by separating components. You have to consider what to do with the data that is shared by the resulting components. If the data you have to share is not very complex, SimpleDB is a good choice.
Your data will be highly available for all your components, and you will be able to retrieve it quickly by selecting or searching thanks to indexing. For years, everyone has been working on thin clients; the logic of a web application is located on the server side. With Web 2. The explosion of smartphone apps and app stores shows that the fat client is making a comeback.
SimpleDB is a perfect companion for this type of system: self-contained clients operating on cloud-based information.
Not really thick, but certainly not thin: thick-thin-clients. There is no setup or administration hassle, the data is secure, and, most importantly, SimpleDB provides access through web services that can be called easily from these clients. Typically, many applications take advantage of storing data in the cloud to build different kinds of clients—web, smartphone, desktop—accessing the same data. The obvious example of a large, simple dataset in the context of Amazon is books.
A quick calculation shows that you can store 31,, books in one domain, if 32 attributes is enough for one book. Store PDFs in S3, and you are seriously on your way to building a bookstore. If you need to scale and handle variations in your load, SimpleDB makes sure you have enough resources, and guarantees good performance when searching through your data.
A new application of cloud-based structured storage SimpleDB can be called hyperpersonal storage. Everyone has literally hundreds perhaps even thousands of these implicit or explicit little lists of personal information.
This is information that is normally not shared with others. It is very suitable for SimpleDB because there is no complex structure behind it. If you are facing the problem of too much load, you have probably already optimized your systems fully.
It is time to take more dramatic measures. As described in Chapter 1 , the most drastic thing you can do is eliminate joins.
If you get rid of joins, you release part of your information; it becomes isolated and can be used independently of other information. You can then move this free information to SimpleDB, which takes over responsibilities such as scalability and availability while giving you good performance.
That is why Kulitzer is one of a kind. Contests are everywhere. There are similar prizes in every country and every school. There are other kinds of contests like American Idol , and every year thousands of girls want to be the prom queen. Kulitzer aims to be one platform for all.
If you want to host a contest, you are more than welcome to. But some of these festivals require something special—they want their own Kulitzer.
At this moment, we want to meet this demand, but we do not want to invest in developing something like Google Sites where you can just create your own customized contest environment. We will simply set up a separate Kulitzer environment, designed to the wishes of the client. But the database of users is very important, and we want to keep it on our platform. We believe that, in the end, Kulitzer will be the brand that gives credibility to the contests it hosts.
Kulitzer is the reputation system for everyone participating in contests. This means that our main platform and the specials are all built on one user base, with one reputation system, and a recognizable experience for the users preferences are personal, for example; you take them with you. We are going to move the users to SimpleDB so they can be accessed both by the central Kulitzer and by the separate special Kulitzer environments.
Figure shows the new architecture. Figure does not show the RDS instance used for the database, which we introduced in Chapter 1. With this change, each new special Kulitzer would use an RDS instance of its own for its relational data.
In fact, each Kulitzer environment would be run on a different AWS account. To simplify the figure, ELBs are not shown. The solution of moving the users to SimpleDB falls into several of the classes of problems described above. It is a large linear dataset we need to scale, and we also deal with disparate decoupled systems. In the examples below, we show how to create an item in a users domain, and then how to retrieve a user item using Ruby.
To add a user, all you need is something like the following. The attribute id will be the item name, which is always unique in SimpleDB. Once you know who you want, it is easy and fast to get everything. SQS is more object oriented and easier to read. But the example below is all it takes to get a particular item. As we were writing this book, we found that there are not many alternatives to a good SimpleDB solution for Ruby.
We chose to use RightAWS because of consistency with the SQS examples, and because we found it was the most comprehensive of the libraries we saw. You can overwrite that behavior, as we did, at your convenience. We created a priority lane for important jobs using SQS, giving the user the option of preferential treatment.
We introduced flexibility at the job level, but we want to give more room for product innovation. The current service is an all-you-can-eat plan for creating your PDFs.
This is interesting, but for some users it is too much. In some periods, they generate tens or even hundreds of PDFs per week, but in other periods they only require the service occasionally. These users are more than willing to spend extra money during their busy weeks if they can lower their recurring costs. We want to introduce this functionality gradually into our application, starting by implementing a fair-use policy on our entry-level products.
For this, we need two things: we need to keep track of actual jobs number of PDFs created , and we need a phone to inform customers if they are over the limit. If we know users consistently breach the fair use, it is an opportunity to upgrade.
So for now we only need to start counting jobs. At the same time, we are working toward a full-blown API that implements many of the features of the current application and that will be open for third parties to use.
Extracting the activity per account information from the application and moving it to a place where it can be shared is a good first step in implementing the API. So the idea is to move accounts to SimpleDB. Figure shows the new Marvia ecosystem. An item always has a name , which is unique within its domain; in this case, we chose the ID of the account as the name. We are going to count the number of PDFs generated for all accounts, but we do want to share if an account is restricted under the fair-use policy of Marvia.
We need to set the region because we want the lowest latency possible and the rest of our infrastructure is in Europe.
But if you understand it, you can parse XML with very brief statements, which is convenient compared to other ways of dealing with XML:. Before the introduction of conditional puts and consistent reads, some things were impossible to guarantee: for example, atomically incrementing the value of an attribute.
But with conditional puts, we can do just that. SimpleDB does not have an increment operator, so we have to first get the value of the attribute we want to increment. It is possible that someone else updated that particular attribute. We can try, but the conditional put will fail. Not a problem—we can just try again. We just introduced a possible race condition, but we are not generating thousands of PDFs a second; if we do a day per account, it is a lot.
To be sure we have the most up-to-date value for this attribute, we do a consistent read. You can consider a consistent read as a flush for writes puts —using consistent reads forces all operations to be propagated over the replicated instances of your data.
A regular read can get information from a replicated instance that does not yet have the latest updates in the system. A consistent read can be slower, especially if there are operations to be forced to propagate:. Decaf is a mobile tool, and it offers a unique way of interacting with your AWS applications. Or perhaps you run into a customer at a networking event and you want to know how many PDFs have been generated by her.
Another example addresses the competitive thrill seeker in us. If we have accounts in SimpleDB, we might want to monitor the size of that domain. We want to know when we hit 1, and, after that, 10, So that is what we are going to do here. We are going to implement a basic SimpleDB browser that can search for and monitor certain attributes.
You can manage your domains and items, and make select queries in a Scratchpad. Listing existing domains is simple. The ListDomains action returns a list of domain names.
The way to list the items in a domain is to execute a select. The syntax is similar to that of an SQL select statement, but of course there are no joins; it is only for fetching items from one domain at a time. The results are paginated, as in the case of domains, in a way that each response never exceeds 1 MB. In these examples, we retrieve all the pages using NextToken and then we show them all to simplify the example. Otherwise, the user might have to wait a long time to see something.
Also, the amount of data might be too big to keep in memory. Of course, with a select expression, we can do more complex filtering by adding a where clause, listing only certain attributes and sorting the items by one of the attributes.
