Noted was an edutech startup that made products for college students to help study for their exams for free. We worked on it for over 3 years and helped over 10,000 students with it. Now that the startup is shut we decided to open source it in hope of inspiring someone else.
This api service was hosted on Google App Engine. I used the Flask framework to write simple api requests. Database layer is the NoSql Google Cloud Datastore. Since most students come during exam time, GAE could handle scalling up and down pretty easy and because of the amazing free quot, we ran for almost free ๐ Goole Cloud is the best โค๏ธ
