While I personally have been convinced for a while that schema-less, document-style database as the future:
http://adam.blog.heroku.com/past/2007/12/17/a_world_without_sql/ ...in playing around with the options currently available (CouchDB, StrokeDB, RDDB, ThruDB, and SimpleDB) I think this technology has a ways to go before it's mature enough for general consumption. We'll be keeping an eye on it though, and I'm sure Heroku will offer one of these options (or another in the same category) as part of our default kit, once it's proven itself mature. That said, there's nothing to stop you from using these today. SimpleDB can be hooked up by hitting Amazon's API with an HTTP client lib like Net::HTTP or RestClient. And I suspect that RDDB and others that offer a filesystem store backend will work just by installing the gems. Anything that requires running a daemon won't work, though.
