Simple read-only REST API for mongoDB.

A very simple way of sticking a read only REST API on a single mongoDB database. Useful, for example, for exposing some data where you want to manage that data through a separate interface or background process.

It's just a bottle app, so you can deploy it the same way you would any bottle app. You'll also need to set the mongoDB connection URI and the name of the target database in the configuration. An example configuration is included in the repository. It is also possible to use environment variables to configure Kala, the key variables are KALA_MONGODB_URI, KALA_MONGODB_DB and KALA_CONFIGFILE. If an environment variable is present its value will be used over any supplied in the configuration file.

Feel free, simply set in the configuration (either via the KALA_SENTRY_DSN environment variable, or the sentry.dsn option in the config file) and then install the raven client library by whichever means you desire.

You probably should, if you want a REST API to enable full CRUD against a mongoDB server. As far as I can tell there's no way to lock sleepy.mongoose down so as to only allow reads and only allow a particular database, which is what this is designed to do.

I could have done, but that seemed like considerably more effort than the tiny bottle app here.
