I'm glad they listen to us GAE users. I've been advocating the platform to friends since it was first introduced. Any other fellow GAE users here? I remember in the GAE mailing list somebody said that VCs generally don't like GAE. Is the sentiment still like that?
- davepeck 15y agoI use GAE for a lot of projects that I've worked on (getcloak.com, walkscore.com, wherebe.us) and the pricing changes are going to hit me hard. I've been a strong GAE proponent since the very early days [1]; GAE's sudden price announcement has made me question my belief in PaaS. Perhaps IaaS really is the level to build on: unless you're using bespoke stuff like AWS auto-scaling you can plausibly keep your infrastructure code "on the outside" of the service itself. -- [1] Here's my talk at I/O 2009, when App Engine was young! http://www.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/AppEngineNittyGritty.html http://www.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/AppEngineNitty...
- nikcub 15y agoI have been totally in love with GAE for almost two years now. Working on four different projects at the moment, all of them on GAE. I have convinced all my clients this year to do their new projects on GAE. The first thing I worked on was a simple abstraction library to sit on top of GAE so you could port away from it easily if you need to later on. I plan on releasing the code at some point in the next few months (the db part is the hardest, going to support running on Riak for now) Also, I recently integrated the Google Prediction API into a product. Damn that thing is hot - coolest new thing I have played with in a long time. Those additional service API's make GAE a dream.
