For bluemix it is essentially an unlimited resource, and will allow us to store the content. OpenStack has Swift, which is also used by SoftLayer, and is documented here: wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Swift
I have been reading up on user authentication/sessions/etc.
it's more complicated than I thought.
It also ties in to session (which are not complicated).
@rolfl yeah, I am trying to setup some authentication system on @Duga, to make it possible to manage the bot in a different way. Spring MVC + Spring Security = complicated.
There's a lot to work on when it comes to authentication, database, hashing, signup, protecting from bots...
It's not necessarily difficult, but it's... a lot of different things that needs to work together.
@SimonAndréForsberg Bluemix has an authentication and user-management system available, just plug it in.
I am not sure I want to do that though.
it also has cloudant available for storage, which is an enterprise and cloud-scale version of couchdb (couchdb under the covers), which means I can develop locally, and deploy up there.
The free tier for the cloudant is 500,000 queries per month.
