Why?
- joshu 14y agoIt makes a bunch of app ideas that I had feasible.
- ericd 14y agoWas Sphinx too much of a PITA to make those workable before?
- nl 14y agoSphinx, Solr[1] etc cannot be run on AppEngine. [1] Technically you can make Solr run by using a AppEngine port of Lucene and a lot of hacking of the Solr code, but it doesn't work well.
- ericd 14y agoYeah, I just didn't figure that GAE's limitations would hold him back on a cool idea, so I was wondering if this made cool things much, much easier. The alternative explanation would be that he uses GAE to the exclusion of all else nowadays.
- joshu 14y agoI meant for pet projects is all. I spend too much on VMs otherwise.
- fizx 14y agoWebsolr has an AWS US-West region that is close enough to be practical for GAE.
