However, as we are in the process of moving to Pecan as REST API framework I would probably refrain from adding new features to it at this stage. Therefore, even if far from ideal, this kind of validation should perhaps be performed in the DB layer. I think this already happens for several API resources.

We have a rich set of validation functions https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/neutron/api/v2/attributes.py However we do not have the concept of entity level validation. Example: I have an API ‘create-something’ and Something is an entity having 2 attributes: Something { Attribute A Attribute B } And according to the business logic A must be greater than B As for today our framework cannot handle this kind of validation and the call is going inside a lower layer of neutron and must be validated there. Example: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/93871/9 With this we have the validations implemented across multi layers. I think we better have the validations in one layer.
