Task: We are looking to develop a WebService that basically performs certain management operations on files such as indexing, compression, streaming. the file can be anything from text to images to video and we manage it all.
Problem: After the architectural discussion we decided to choose the programming platform. Now personally i am comfortable with WCF Services and have had my share of experience with them and played with them enough. But the other developers on my team are leaning more towards python and are looking to base the service off Flask or Bottle
Now i have tried searching for differences but all i find is how to implement WCF using IronPython. Language is not a problem as we all learn it and we have time to spend but what is important is that we get it right. Speed and Reliability is of the utmost importance and so I just need some advice or may be a few benchmarks to show which direction is the best.
Additional Info: we'll be hosting the service on AWS so we've got good enough hardware requirements and are not affected by lack of scalability. Also db will divided between NoSql and RelationalDB.
