How did this float to the top of my front page so quickly. Are we all genuinely _that_ interested in new AWS products? or did this post receive some "extra" help

This makes Amazon competitors to various backend-as-a-service startups (like Parse), so yes, it's interesting.

While this (and other similar) Backend-aaS look very appealing at first glance, it seems to suffer from the same problem as most AWS offerings - terrible platform lock-in. Show me that I could move all of this to another provider if I need to, and then we can talk seriously.

I also wonder how they "manage[s] the complexity of conflict resolution" without manual intervention.
