I wish there were some "quick deploy" mode for when you are developing a staging version of your app and not needing the scalability yet. I have staging and production versions of my app, both need to be online so that outside services can reach them, but it's annoying to wait for the staging deploys every time I make a small change. Of course this is solvable by just renting a dev box from linode and running dev_appserver there, which is what I'm planning to try soon, but would be a time saver if this were included.
