S3 storage for Django


Hi there!

Am blogging after a few months now. I have settled in the MobStac team as an all hands engineer. I have shifted to Bangalore with 2 friends from Kolkata.

Anyway, at MobStac we needed an S3 storage backend for our Django app (Django runs our publisher platform, and mobile site serving platform). I figured out there is nice way to write a custom storage backend. But then a bit searching and I came across django-storages by David. It supports for backend than we needed, so I just took out the s3boto code and it was easy as cake.

So now all media uploaded goes to S3, and honestly integrating this in Django was smooth as silk.
