Is their a SaaS version of mimicdb? I'm ready to signup right now.

No, and it wouldn't help much if there was. The biggest benefits come from running the metadata cache locally, or at least on the same local network. The cost/time savings come from preventing external API calls.
If I have a bucket with 2 million key, it takes a long time and 2000 requests to get the dir listing. With mimicdb it would only be one fast request.
That's true if it was local. A 2 million key response from an externally hosted MimicDB instance would probably have to be split in 2000 requests and take the same amount of time.

Send me an email nathan@nathancahill.com and I can show you how to set up a local cache. It's quite simple.
