I think it would be pretty trivial to setup an Amazon EC2 instance running a BaseX server. Probably just need a Linux core with Java installed. This could be shared as a public AMI.

I was dreaming about it too.On the other hand, I understand, that resources, being available at cloud solutions like Google Engine, AWS etc. are of quite different kind, that needed for efficient BaseX. When I see flashing of HD LED on my notebook, when performing bigger operations, I know, porting BaseX to any less disk efficient platform would kill the performance completely.
For now, the only option in the cloud is sort of virtual computer (like AWS EC2 etc.)

Hi Min,
I have no idea how much time and effort would have to be spent to
support the datastore API. In general, we have spent lots of effort
and thoughts into our own storage architecture. It's one of the key
factors for the efficiency of BaseX, so I'm not sure if switching to
another database backend is such a good idea, not to mention
transaction issues, etc. But I might be wrong.
