With Storlets, users will be able to create their own applications that are able to run like as a Swift middeleware. The application (currently Python and Java are supported as the language but the
apps can calls any binaries in the workspace) can be uploaded as a Swift object, then, users can invoke them with just an extra header that specifies your apps.

To fit your own use case, we may have to consider to invole or to integrate the system for you but I believe Storlets could be a choice for you.

In detail, Storlets documantation is around there,

APIs: https://docs.openstack.org/storlets/latest/api/overview_api.html

Thanks,
