Running Pure Django Projects on Google App Engine
- endlessvoid94 16y agoIf you'd prefer to not need to do any code changes at all, head on over to my site and sign up for our private beta: http://www.djangy.com http://www.djangy.com -- we're inviting more people every day :-)
- bryanh 16y agoI just got in today! Hopefully I can find some time to put you guys through your paces... The service seems valuable.
- scrollbar 16y agoI keep seeing you post this link, and I sign up every time. Can't wait to try it!
- ryanhuff 16y agoDoes djangy run on-top of EC2, or something else?
- endlessvoid94 16y agoYes, the worker hosts currently run on EC2.
- allbutlost 16y agoI can recommend djangy wholeheartedly, having been a happy beta user for a few weeks now. The guys are responsive & helpful and the service is great. As someone new to python & django, my main pain-point was deployment (haven't picked up fabric yet). For this djangy shines.
- axiom 16y agoAs much trouble as we've had with Google App Engine I still have to say that I genuinely respect how open and accommodating they've been to people who want to avoid vendor lock in. I can't think of another company that would do something like this.
- izak30 16y agoAmazon and Rackspace both seem to be less prone to lock-in than AppEngine
- ericflo 16y agoIt's important to note that this is not "Pure Django", it recommends django-nonrel, which is actually a fork of Django.
- zemanel 16y agoi don't think it's really a fork, but rather a django database engine that supports "datastores" + related tools
- jacobian 16y agoUnfortunately right now it is a fork -- django-nonrel makes some internal changes to Django. I'm hoping to reconcile those changes with core at some point so that -nonrel could indeed be just a backend, but we're not there yet.
- axiak 16y agoI think an important point (that they make) is that you can write an app/project using django-nonrel and have it be completely compatible with the vanilla Django on another server.
