The FIND stack

The inner workings and software that powers FIND

There are several pieces to our code. The majority of our program is written in Python and Javascript. The main machine-learning server is the following.

Flask for routing

Flask has served really nicely for fast prototyping. However there are known problems for using Flask as a production environment.

Tornado for production

To avoid Flask production problems, we use Tornado for a WSGI container. It works nicely, and is async so it can support lots of connections.

Sqlite3 for databases

For modularity we aim to have easily transferable databases. Sqlite3 is a strong candidate and works fine for the small scale applications. In the future we might move to MongoDB or MySQL.
