What is the real answer?



In general, you can connect to anything using to Business Logic.  The ability to pass / manipulate data in real time is considerably limited for free users (to 2 second execution time).  


It's also worth mentioning that your exact use case would need to be known before I could say whether or not you could use AWS.  If you need to sign things (as mentioned in the above example), our codebase has completely changed in the last 2 years.


Can you please be a bit more specific about your needs?


Thanks,

I need to be able to export data to S3 with a push of a button. Is that possible?


Thanks

Daniel,


We do not offer out-of-the-box functionality that would give you this ability at this time.


Thanks,

In that case do you offer a hosting where I could store the rest of my app?


What I need is to be able to serve my app from a custom url/directory in a push of a button. 


Example: this is the budget of the Borough of Greenwich http://wikibudgets.org/w/uk/london/greenwich/2015/


it is served from location uk/london/greenwich/2015/


If I create a budget of the Borough of Barnet I want that to be served from uk/london/barnet/2015/.


But Kinvey does not provide hosting, or does it?


Daniel, 


We do not offer web-hosting.  You could create custom endpoints and have them serve whatever data you wanted.  Alternatively you could just set up a web-redirect for yourdomain.com/w/UK/... to pass everything else off as parameters to your endpoint.


Thanks,

That makes sense, thanks
