wow, that is a lot of time for research ;-)
How big of data you talking about, there are sites out there that host
very inexpensively like godaddy.com.
I just foresee issues with using the current Witango and an XML
webservice. The creation of dynamic DOM object in witango is wrote
with issue and I think you need to prove that out before stepping into
Amazon S3.
Also during the porting of Witango to PHP that i have done the biggest
hurdle is the formating of Variables between Witango and PHP, I have
created a piece of code in php that takes the result set from raw taf
and does about a 90% conversion. Also another hurdle will be that
conditional logic embedded in the Actions.
Most PHP development is base on LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP) where
the primary data store for PHP is MySql, and as I stated there are
very inexpensive hosting places for PHP/MySql.
Just My thoughts.

I'm laying out the framework for what might be a large site. In
doing the research over the last 618 weeks or so I have come to the
conclusion that I should use Amazon S3 if it is at all possible.
And now with our recent discussion of Tango and PHP I'm wondering if
my wishlist is at all realistic.
It is
create proof of concept in Tango
debug functionality and user interface
port to Zend/PHP with the data store being Amazon S3
Does anyone have any tips/pointers/advice?
Based on all our comments over the last week or so I think this
might also be a good roadmap for anyone contemplating a large
installation, especially one that would involve serving large files
and not just a database installation serving back text into form and
web pages.
The cost/admin savings on the S3 seems insurmountable to a small
startup. The costs seem miniscule. I just don't see how it would
make any sense to do anyting else if you were starting from scratch
and would have to either buy or pay for servers/connectivity/admin.
But I'm asking just in case someone out there knows of a gotcha!
Thanks for any info.
