No mobile client.

This is basically what I was thinking, module who generates the URL (front- or back-end).

I was thinking to have the skeleton of the app be flask-based with front-end work where possible.  In particular, I found the reasonably complete AWS JS SDK which simplifies some of the details.  It is similar in scope to the both library but AWS-specific.

We generally handle very large files (10GB+) and I want to create a lightweight web app that can store files into S3, manage metadata, and also manage auth/authen for the group.  I expect this to have both a web UI and RESTful API.  I have code for doing CORS-based uploads and for downloads with time-limited URLs.  It doesn’t look too hard, but I have learned that the Flask community often has something to offer, so I thought I would ask for tips or code from anyone who has done this type of thing before.  Any suggestions?
