I like the concept. There could be an interesting business idea here. One of the problems that concerns me is speed of data access. If I'm running the service on AWS, your app will need fast access to your data. If you are hosting your app on AWS, why not run couchDB yourself? You will get much better speeds utilizing the cloud service's internal infrastructure rather than accessing your data via the internet. If you are hosting your web service somewhere else, then why not use the database solutions provided there? I'm just trying to understand the need for this kind of service.
