A new market to disrupt - undergraduate computer science projects as a service.

Wait until you guys check out my hashtable implementation in the cloud.



By chance you want to buy some bubble sort for $5/month? that's less then .005 per sort. I also have some 24 bit IEEE floating points as a service (IEEEFPaSS), on sale as well.


Is a KeyValue database not a hashtable in the cloud?


Hashtables are by far not the only way to associate a number of keys with respective values. They have some nice properties and some rather ugly properties (memory usage, growing/shrinking, iteration, seeding / table poisoning). Most RDBMS (for example) tend to use trees instead for indices. And then there's the whole category of tries.


Yeah, but most of the large key-value stores are distributed hash tables.


So... DynamoDB?
