[db-wg] RESTful API for create, delete and update

Hello Christopher,

The labs server machine and the API prototype (lab.db.ripe.net) are down
for unplanned maintenance work right now and we expect it to be back
online by tomorrow. I am sorry for the inconvenience this might have
caused.

Good news is we are in the process of upgrading the service to
production status on apps.db.ripe.net.

As you noted the Queries API service are already deployed on that
cluster and will be officially announced as production service very soon
and short after that we will migrate the Update API service to
production status on the same cluster.

All related documentation will be updated when the service is in
production and it will be an officially supported NCC Service.

We definitely suggest using the web services for any automated
interaction with RIPE Database.

Kind Regards,

Kaveh Ranjbar,
Database Group Manager at RIPE NCC
