> Second, Kindle and SimpleDB (now Dynamo)

Minor nitpick, these are two separate services. SDB is still independently accessible and probably will be for a while. That being said they definitely don't encourage any new use of SDB and push Dynamo instead.

Kind of a shame because a modern NoSQL store with SQL support would be great for rapid prototyping before a concrete data schema is established.

dynamodb is the spiritual successor of sdb.

sdb is build on the same principles outlined in the dynamo paper: https://www.allthingsdistributed.com/files/amazon-dynamo-sos...

I actually really liked Simple DB as a place for configuration.
