I always was sceptical about the suitability of Google's App Engine for 'real' Web Apps. It just seemed that too many features where missing.
But after Google IO 2010 I have reconsidered. Google obviously has placed a firm commitment behind GAE.
- endlessvoid94 16y agoI run www.thathigh.com on google appengine and I can say it handles extremely well under some pretty high loads. Every once in awhile Django will barf but it always dies and restarts nearly instantly. If you know how to optimize your app for appengine, it's a very sustainable solution.
- DenisM 16y agoI have a pretty good grasp on SQL+.NET and use those for AJAX backend. Would you recommend switching to app engine? Any particular advice?
- endlessvoid94 16y agoSorry, just now saw this. I've only used Python on appengine, so I can't really comment on your particular experience. It supports Java, and it's super-important to realize that you won't be working with a database, you'll be working with a dataSTORE (which is comprised of hash tables, sorta). give it a shot. if you hate it, quit!
