That's what I was initially thinking, but after some more thought, it
makes a lot of sense to use that sort of handler and expanding on it
for use with the MySQL or another database bridge.

Memcached could be used to cache query results, serving results from
Memcached where they have already been set, and the handler could know
when db modifications should delete specific keys from Memcached. This
is a familiar design for many web applications already, so essentially
it could result in a well performant 'out of the box' web API.
