Currently ROM supports a number of [different adapters](https://github.com/rom-rb/rom/#adapters) to various data stores. I’m wondering if anyone has found a database/data store/api that they feel would be a good fit for ROM?

We definitely need either `rom-elastic_search` or `rom-solr` to support search-targeted datastores.

Also it would be nice either to revive `rom-redis`, or|and implement `rom-aerospike` or `rom-riak` for key-value stores.

Though we have `rom-kafka` (now in alpha, but I’m planning to move it to beta in a month), something like `rom-rabbit` or `rom-amqp` would be useful too for building pub/sub apps.

**_[Necro-post]_**

I’d love to see a [Database.com](http://Database.com) adapter similar to [restforce](https://github.com/ejholmes/restforce). I’m sure this could be implemented using `rom-http` with some additional sugar, but it would be far more convenient if it could just integrate with the existing gem (which is far more likely to be kept up-to-date) and make the calls invisibly.

Perhaps this will be my next weekend project…
