Overview¶
What is it good for?¶
- You want to have your web interface or web API close to the data.
- You want to customize how you preview, store, curate the data.
- You have a lot of data but cannot afford cloud storage solutions.
What is it bad for?¶
- If you just want to store small files that don’t require a lot of curation, a cloud storage solution might be a better fit.
The ugly?¶
- Documentation is work in progress.
- Some of the code is a little hard to read.
