The partitioning / clustering you speak of is being done at scale with us at Cloudant. A Dynamo-like layer, written in pure Erlang sits on top of CouchDB and offer's couch's full api. Nodes coming and going is not an issue, and we can and do deploy to EC2. We hope to give this code back to the CouchDB community in the near future, after we kick the tires a bit more.

Fred, you still have some funds waiting from me for that beer ;) Also, as of today, Twitpay is now powered by PayPal. Just give your paypal email address as a way to associate your account, set a pin, and that's it.

Cheers,
BA

Fred, at the 3 min. mark, you talk about payment systems in Twitter. It's possible you haven't heard of http://twitpay.me, a product of Atlanta Startup Weekend. @ivey and @tensigma have built a great system that is friendly, and also compliant with regulations (cough Tipjoy cough).

edit: I just twitpay'd you a beer ;)

I also wonder what the goals are on this, above just proxying dynamic content to mochiweb... but it's still interesting.

One thought I had, if you don't like C very much, is to use D with the Tango library and its very nice http portion of the lib. http://www.dsource.org/proj...

You could then wrap the proper portions of code in extern(C) blocks and have a crazy-efficient D backend for this thing that was also easier to program.
