    <p>I want to build a web app where frontend (static) and backend (API) are, except for sharing the same domain, completely seperated. Usually I would consider this to be no problem, but I have some special requirements:</p> <ul> <li>the API runs on <strong>Heroku</strong> (using Django &amp; TastyPie)</li> <li>all the static content, including the html files will be hosted on <strong>Amazon S3</strong> </li> </ul> <p>The frontend app will be a single page Javascript application (with a base template, lets call it <code>index.html</code>) and populate the content from the API via AJAX. Since I don't want to implement CORS for the API yet and would like to follow the same-origin policy I want that both, the API and the files on S3 (the bucket), are sharing the same domain in some way. I also don't want to the Django's flatpages app or render the <code>index.html</code> through Django at all. </p> <p>I scanned Google and stackoverflow, but couldn't find a adequate solution so far. As far as I read the naive way (pointing domain to the Heroku app and the S3 bucket somehow) is not possible. Some solutions I have in mind but didn't find sources to:</p> <ul> <li>if possible pointing the domain name to the API on Heroku and the S3 bucket</li> <li>passing some options to Heroku to render html which is hosted on S3 (ProcFile?), using Django and libraries for S3 to get the other static assets</li> <li>maybe doing something with boto to achieve this</li> <li>other completely different suggestions?</li> </ul> <p>Did anybody tried something like this before and can point me in the right direction?</p> <p><em>One addition</em>: Later on I want to use something lile PhantomJS to make the single-page app crawlable. This output for crawlers should ideally be hosted in the S3 storage as well.</p>

    1. COWhat about subdomains? bucket.domain.tld -> Your S3 Bucket. domain.tld -> Heroku. Or is this against the same origin policy?

    2. COSame Origin Policy also applies for subdomains I am afraid. I considering to go with some kind of CORS implementation now I guess.

    3. COyou can use JSONP for a lot of stuff. I've been able to use it with cross domains in the past.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
