Won't rehash the pricing discussions, but because of the pricing changes and the way it's been handled we're 90% sure we're going to move to AWS.
Anyways... now I'm tasked with figuring out how to get our almost TB of data over there either into SimpleDB or into an RDS instance, not sure yet. Have other people done the move, how did it go? Did you pull from AWS / push from GAE? Take an intermediate backup and then load from some other mechanism (thinking S3) into SDB / RDS? Our app is adding over 1 GB / day with 20MM reads and 20MM writes, and we'd rather not take it offline for too long... Thinking of some crazy scheme based on descending keys to move data over from key A "downwards", shut off app, move over everything from key A "upwards" as we're mostly only writing new data. Maybe special-case a few object classes and use timestamps to detect deltas. Realize it's pretty app-specific, but wondering if other people have tackled that same problem and what their experiences were.
