I haven't been paying much attention to AppEngine, but it seems like kind of a major oversight that there was no SSL support until now. Is anyone using this thing for real work? I don't know how it could be considered much more than a neat toy to play with given its lack for such basic features for so long.

We use it for http://www.muspy.com http://www.muspy.com, though we are thinking about moving away to plain Django. GAE has too many limitations.

  > GAE has too many limitations could you elaborate please? We are looking to get into GAE from plain Django, so I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

    The limitations are well known, just Google around. A relatively good overview can be found here: http://aralbalkan.com/1504 http://aralbalkan.com/1504 It was discussed in this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/83a692fecb6c5b12 http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_threa... It definitely depends on the kind of app you are doing. From my experience GAE is great for websites with high ratio of reads to writes. If you have a lot of writes or any non-trivial background processing, it becomes harder to develop for appengine.
