Ask HN: Technology and framework for file storage web service

2 pointsnetrix10y ago2 comments

I would like to develop an application (not necessary a web page) that will be able to handle my requirements which are:

* file uploads (with meta-data) which I would like to store in one specified directory on server (meta-data would be in SQL database),

* text data (with structure or without),

* handle JSON queries so I will be able to get information/data from server.

Is there any kind of framework that will allow me to quickly create such application and help me storing and retrieving data with JSON queries?

Maybe (but not necessarily) there is a python framework for that?

I got the tip to use Flask (http://flask.pocoo.org/) and it turned out to fulfill my requirements. Thx for the answers.

use Ruby on Rails with carrierwave gem to upload files to AWS s3

write your custom api in rails to serve those files
