Cassandra is more of a DB than Mongo is. Dynamodb is basically the same, and they wanted the hosted version so their approach is reasonable. They definitely want more than a key value store. They at least want date and content indexing, editor, author, etc. I imagine they probably have a few internal requirements as well wrt analytics, tooling and more. S3 doesn't work for all this and another user's suggestion that this is all treatable like static content sounds way off to me. The best you can do is pregenerate some of the HTML.
