Decide deployment factors

[iamareebjamal]

For deployment, we can use:

• Heroku (free instance is slow and is guaranteed to sleep some time)
• Google App Engine (does not provide any free SQL db for Flask, need to use mongo by ML Labs)
• Redhat Openshift (not easy to set up)

I recommend GAE with mongo db as the site won't have such analytical requirement of advance SQL queries and can be benefited by speed and simpliity of a NoSQL database like mongo

Also, starting with mongo does not require any prior knowledge of databases as it is as simple
collection.put(python_dict)

And pymongo works with native python types without any model generation

What problem is the api solving exactly? 😅

[iamareebjamal]

Dynamic website and basically having beginners learn database and RESTful approach to web

Think of it as a mock excercise

So, if we hit the given api, do we get structured data about newcomer issues available on amu-oss github?

Umm, no. I was talking about creating db and api for amu oss site
