These two statements are a bit inconsistent.  If you are installing an 
existing RavenDB on aws, other people cannot be using it on aws, surely?

At any rate, I think your instincts are right.  The only safe context 
for experimenting in is an isolated one.  Your problem may be that a 
local instance of RavenDB may act differently to a remote one, but 
that's a bridge to cross when you come to it.  If you can get an 
isolated instance on AWS, that would be ideal (but expensive).
