Extracting uploaded zip file with Django in memory: "There are many situations where some time ago I woudn't hesitated to just use filesystem. But now I have started to realize the value of minimizing the usage of filesystem. Databases are designed to keep data and offer easy solutions for backup and security for example. Keeping more and more data in databases can be a good idea in some cases. I'm not saying you should always just push your data to the database, but it should be a consideration. Also using AppEngine lately has affected my thinking since it doesn't even offer access to filesystem.
