TellHN: My Weekend Project (GAE Reverse Caching Proxy)

• al_james 16y ago
  Cool, but there are similar projects out there. E.g. http://cdn-cloud.appspot.com/ http://cdn-cloud.appspot.com/ Not sure that response times from app engine are that nippy compared to a 'proper' CDN. What would be cool would automatically distributing images via google's image serving CDN. You can use the get_serving_url method in app engine to return a CDN enabled url for any image in the blobstore. Its super fast and allows dynamic image resizing.

  pretty cool. might be worth making the uri a key_name to make the lookup faster: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/modelclass.html#Model_get_by_key_name http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/model... discussion on efficiency difference of get vs fetch: http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/b0a837a47bf0cc36 http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_threa...

  Not a fan of the ginormous block comments. Why do people like these?

  Another project to enable people to use GAE's generous free account without actually developing on GAE's platform: http://github.com/viatropos/queuable http://github.com/viatropos/queuable This one sends a request to Heroku as often as once a minute, to avoid paying for Heroku workers. http://heroku.com/pricing http://heroku.com/pricing

  Cirruxcache has been around for a while, and works great: http://code.google.com/p/cirruxcache/ http://code.google.com/p/cirruxcache/
