I'm lost. How does it have all the benefits of a database, without any persistence? That doesn't sound like a database at all.

Persistence is just a plugin/module/hook. Currently it plugs into a very never-should-ever-be-deployed file on disk (for easy local testing only) and S3.

We're going to be adding more storage engines though! Hopefully building an open source S3 that uses fancy algorithms to store on disk and on peers. However I don't know that stuff, somebody else is doing it (or I'm hiring - we're funded!).
