TechCrunch Labs: Our Experience Building And Launching App On Google App Engine
- gcv 19y agoOK, cool, but what does the penultimate sentence mean? "The scalability of App Engine is exciting but elusive; most apps won't need it and those that do won't use Google." It seems to me that apps which do need scalability will benefit most from the App Engine because they won't have to spend months hacking their own scalability infrastructure.
- hwork 19y agook I should probably clarify that. thanks
- nickb 19y agoAnyone else surprised how slow TC's app is? For something simple like this, it's really slow... like ~3sec on average response times! I also got an error... (google Server Error) I guess Google has more than few kinks to fix before they open it up completely...
- gduffy 19y agoMaybe they need to cache their handlers: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/requestsandappcaching.html http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/requestsandappc... I think this might be the reason they are using so much CPU time as well.

- tlrobinson 19y agop.s.: #!/bin/sh while [ 1 -eq 1 ] do curl -d direction=$1 -d key=$2 http://appengine.crunchbase.com/ done Param #1 is either "up" or "down", param #2 is the key obtained from the voting form.
- hwork 19y agoyou've found the fatal flaw in our design.
- tlrobinson 19y agoAt least now we can see how the appengine handles heavy loads
- wumi 19y agofunny how Zoho is the 2nd worst. Odd for a company making $ 1 million profit / month.
