In T171960: Create a library to post-process PDF and add page numbers and table of contents we're creating a library that post-processes PDFs. In T173579: Expose PDF post-processing scripts as a stateless web service we want to expose that library as a stateless web service. This spike is about which Python server library to use in creating that service. Rather, do we want to do this in Python, or can we use Node.js and call the python script from it?

A/C

• Do we want to create the server in Python or Javascript? Why one over the other? Investigate the question from various angles such as development, operations, and services.
• If we want to use Python, then should we use Tornado or something else?
• If we can do this in Node.js, should we use service template node?
