Google never liked HTTP/2 push. I've been hosting some pages on Google App Engine and push never got implemented for the mandatory frontend proxy.

- detaro 6y agoGoogle also "invented" it as part of SPDY (it's surprisingly difficult to find a clear reference, but I'm reasonably sure it was in pre-standardization-process SPDY too). For this kind of thing, one one hand it doesn't make much sense to apply a global opinion about a relatively minor thing to a company of that size, where different teams and their goals aren't aligned or even at odds. On the other, I wouldn't take GAE not having a feature as a big signal: its best days clearly are over and it's lacking/buggy/... in all kinds of places sadly.
- kmonsen 6y agoYou are correct, I worked a bit on spdy back in the start. Also correct in that google doesn’t have one opinion. Even inside the chrome team there were many different opinions.
