I’m interested in persistence options for Ruby other than relational  
databases or simple flat files. I realize this is not necessarily a  
Ruby question per sé, but I’d prefer a nice Ruby interface/api, and  
I’d like to know what other Rubyists have found to work well.

Anything worth recommending?

Closer to the flat file end of the spectrum, but still maybe of  
interest:
