This is probably the right time to mention
0:03
that there are some community extensions available
0:05
that allow you to use backends other than Mongo
0:08
with your Eve powered API.
0:10
One interesting option is probably Eve SqlAlchemy.
0:14
Using SqlAlchemy instead of MongoDB
0:17
means that you can reuse your existing Sql data model
0:21
and expose it via Rest thanks to Eve with no hustle.
0:24
Another option is Eve Elastic
0:27
which offers elastic search data layer for your Eve framework.
0:31
I know several Amazon S3 efforts being developed right now
0:34
and there is also a Neo4J extension available.
0:39
In general, if you are interested in these extensions,
0:41
make sure you check the dedicated page on the Eve website
0:44
at pythoneve.org/extensions.
