In a recent project; I used MongoDB with MongoEngine (an ORM/ODM for Python).

This allowed me to specify schema in a central “Model”.

My new project I am hosting on Windows Azure; and there is no non-SQL based ORM/ODM wrapper for it in Python.

How would you recommend I proceed:

• Engineer my own Python ORM/ODM for Windows Azure

• Or should I not worry about complicated backend business-logic—to reduce computation and transport overhead—and just write routes like this:

  POST /api/u_speced/<noun>/create -d {'type': 'schema', **(JSON_schema)}
  → {'created': true}
  PUT /api/u_speced/<noun>/add -d {'type': 'data', **(JSON validated against JSON_schema)}
  →  {'id': <id>}
  GET /api/u_speced/<noun>/<id>
  →  {JSON representation of record}
