I agree -- a web framework that works well with scalable storage is the most interesting challenge.
I haven't thought much about dynamic scaling, and it's more cutting edge then most would need. That said, if there's a scaling tool that lift could connect to, it would be neat if lift deployments would have some protection from flash mobs by default.
