CloudServices/Storage

Overview

The goal of the Storage project is to provide an FxA-attached cloud storage service for web app developers.

Exemple products

- A contact store for firefox hello; - An app like "pocket" (read it later)

Timeframe

• Q4 2014: Exploration + proof of concept
• Q1 2015:
  • Server API specs are ready;
  • First version / MVP, with a demo app using it.

• Q2 2015
  • Add validation to the mix
  • Change the form builder to use the CloudStorage backend
  • Handle permissions to share some data

Minimum Viable Product

• Login with FxA;
• Store / Get data over HTTP;
• No validation;
• Cache handling;

Areas to explore

• Do the encryption on the client side and sync it wherever it makes sense (Drive, Dropbox, etc)
• See if we can integrate with already existing projects (remote storage)
• How do we want to deal with sharing ?
• How should we handle synchro ?
