A way to log occurances to an Amazon Simple DB (requires Gigaom Simple DB).

We originally created this to allow us to log errors in our code when we weren't able to access the PHP error logs on the server and weren't able to reproduce them locally. However, since then we've found it useful in a few other cases as well.

Here's our short list (you may be able to think of more):

  1. When you need to log errors but don't have admin access to the error logs on the server.
  2. When you need a cosolidated log between two different servers that are running related code.
    • In our case we had two servers talking to each other and needed a view into how that conversation was going in a consolidated fashion.
  3. When you have a rare error that you need to log but don't want to dig through months of error log files.
