I don't think it's relevant that it's a database as a service over all the other hosted services we put our trust in - if someone hacked Heroku, RackSpace or whatever other service provider they would get some db access, aws keys, source code etc too.

Private repos on github and bitbucket are probably a goldmine of accidents waiting to happen considering how many api keys etc slip into public ones!

Not really sure what the takeaway should be for developers building on [anything] other than to do your best not to store stuff in a way that can hurt your users if a platform you use is compromised.
