15:05 <CasFan_> Is riak's interface Amazon S3-compatible? 

15:05 <seancribbs> CasFan_: no, it's actually easier than S3 

15:06 <CasFan_> I am looking to setup a local storage cluster for testing and 
then migrate to S3.. So I was looking for S3-compatible distributed key-value stores.. 

15:06 <CasFan_> any recommendations, if riak's API is different from S3? 

15:06 <sfalcon> CasFan_: take a look at parkplace 

15:07 <CasFan_> thanks sfalcon 

15:08 <jdmaturen> "an amazon s3 clone and bittorrent service" lols 

15:08 <benchMark> Or just test against the real thing. 

15:08 <benchMark> S3 is cheap. 

15:08 <benchMark> At least at low volumes. 

15:09 <benchMark> It's expensive as hell at any kind of scale, but that's 
a rant for another day. :) 

15:09 <jdmaturen> yea, CasFan_ your steps are backwards ;) 

15:10 <CasFan_> jdmaturen, why backwards? I want to give my developers a local 
installation for fast testing/performance benchmarking and move to S3 for large-scale operations. 

15:11 <jdmaturen> read benchMark's comments, then note the ;) 

15:12 <CasFan_> okay.. thanks :) 

15:15 <benchMark> If you ever expect to store more than a few terabytes of data on S3, 
I would give serious thought to the cost structure. 

15:15 <benchMark> And I'll leave it at that. :) 

15:16 <seancribbs> benchMark, ever the voice of experience :) 

15:17 <benchMark> Painful personal experience is my specialty
