In the past, we used Pydap as our OPeNDAP backend server for all of our data portals, but it is now solely used for the (now deprecated) PCDS portal. Using Pydap has presented us with a variety of opportunities and challenges. On one hand, development of pydap is very modular, dynamic, and open. This has allowed us to easily write custom code to accomplish things that would be otherwise impossible, such as streaming large data responses, having a near-zero memory footprint, and write our own custom data handlers and responses. On the other hand, pydap can be a moving target. Pydap's development repository has lived in three different locations since we started, most of the code base is not rigorously tested (until lately), and API changes have been common. Few of our contributions have been upstreamed, which means that we live in a perpertual state of fear of upgrade. Pydap is mostly a one man show, which mean works-for-me syndrome is common.
