Developing a RESTful Python service
summary
Builds a Windows-hosted REST service with Bottle behind an IIS reverse proxy using Application Request Routing, avoids in-process ISAPI, and runs the service as a separate process for controlled recycling. Uses psycopg2, requests, watchdog and win32traceutil for debugging and file-watching. Makes writes idempotent by using client-generated IDs and PUT so retries are safe. Microtests show about 230 req/s and projected load is 50,000–100,000 requests per day.
