[Flask] REST based File Sharing server Implementation in Flask

[G.S.Vijay Raajaa]

The number of non-block servings will correspond to the max number of
workers in that case? Hypothetically if one user uploads multiple
files that keeps all the workers busy, I am blocked when rest of the
users online trying to upload files. Any thoughts to delegate it
asynchronously?
