I've been thinking exactly along those lines for a while now. It started with me backing up MongoDB to S3 using one document = one S3 object. Each S3 stored document is a gzipped JSON string. From there, the idea of having a write through memory cache that saves to S3 is a quick leap, followed by allowing multiple servers to access the same S3 store. End result is a really eventually consistent scalable key=>document store. Yes I'm quite excited by Bigdis!
