Limit Request On Public API: Video Upload Form

Will Trapp — Tue, 26 May 2020 15:04:56 +0000

Hey all,

I have an idea to let my clients collect video testimonials from their users. I will build a unique but public video record and upload link/page for each one of my clients. Their users will record a video, then click upload on the page.

My question is how do I protect against abuse such as a user uploading 100s of videos and running up my storage fees? Should I grab the IP of each user uploading then save that to my db, and check it before each upload? Cookies? Local storage?

Thanks!

SQL vs Elastic Search for storing CRM Data

Hey everyone,
First post here.I need some help choosing a cloud service to store CRM data for a website I'm building. At the least, I need user's to upload a csv of their customer emails (per group) and save that in a database. I'm very familiar with Firebase and I am using that for auth and RTDB, but I don't think it makes sense for storing the CRM emails and their group associations (ie - email and groupId).

I'm leaning towards AWS Elasticsearch or Google Postgres SQL. Any recco's?

Thanks.
