This is all great, and indeed solves the security issues in exposing AWS.

And I'm sure it does wonders for locking in clients to AWS APIs ;)

As for scalability, there's no inherent scalability issue with middlemen services. There's potentially some added lag (not necessarily), but a pure middleman service (with maybe a bit of caching) is an "embarrassingly parallel" workload. If it gets slow, you just add more servers. And they could be Amazon EC2 servers, nothing bad about that! :)
