Similar work is progressing well for (off the top of my head) Kafka[1], Riak[2], and MySQL[3] though you'll note they're all quick to point out "don't use this for production yet."

I'll be keeping on top of these developments, but for now, managing yourself or leaning on AWS services is definitely the pragmatic decision.
