There have been some recent conversations <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/openbd/eFKJI6ch7EQ/ZXRBqzBx-zoJ> on OpenBD's support for Amazon SimpleDB (currently supported) and DynamoDB (support pending?). By "recent", I mean a couple years ago ;-]
We have an application which could amass a large amount of data over time on user's personal items (collectibles & antiques, for historic and insurance purposes). Some users may be allowed to create their own data fields and inventory could be searched in many directions (for example: "show me everything 'Disney'" - which could fetch figurines, toys, tea sets and heaven-knows-what... and then "show me 'tea sets'" - which could include those with a Disney theme alongside those made by Wedgewood and so on. Hopefully you get the idea). I suppose we could just start with a RDS service, but a SQL model doesn't really fit the use case of custom fields. So I'm looking at SimpleDB & DynamoDB, even Redshift. It looks like I can start working with SimpleDB on OpenBD today, but I'm concerned that searching may be a problem later. Any thoughts or experiences you can share?
