Ryan Dunn, Technical Evangelist, recently interviewed Istvan Cseri, SSDS Architect and Nigel Ellis, SSDS Development Manager and Architect about SSDS and their vision for Cloud Data Services. He posted his interview at Channel 9. Check it out here. Thanks Ryan for posting this video. Hopefully it will give you the readers a better idea of how these leaders are thinking about data and services in the cloud.

Jeff is one of the developers on the SSDS project. He just sent me a note indicating that he has posted his SSDS code sample here. Very cool.

If you saw Nigel Ellis' "Introduction to SQL Server Data Services" presentation at MIX08, you will remember the Litware HR application that Nigel demonstrated. This application is built using the SSDS service by Eugenio Pace and members of his team. Eugenio discusses the architecture in his blog here and how he built this multi-tenant application here. He talks about the pros and cons of using SSDS. Good read. He promises to go deeper into how his team built the application and the challenges they faced. Look forward to hearing from you Eugenio. This feedback is very important to us as we build out SSDS. Thanks for the help.

Good post about SSDS Query Language

Ryan Dunn has a fairly detailed post on the SSDS query model here. Ryan has prototyped some application code already, so his description of the query model is worth a read.
