I question the benchmarks that are claimed for a single server. 10 million hits per day? Stackoverflow is just approaching 1 million hits and they've just recently gone to 2 web servers. Never mind the fact that the DB is also on a different server.
The fact is that my argument makes as much sense as author's does. It all depends on what your server is doing.
- BarsMonster 17y agoThe idea of GAE: we do care about scaling instead of you. What I prefer to think: write proper code, and you will never need a cluster (probably not for all cases). There are just 6.5billions people on the earth, so the maximum traffic is limited anyway.

I'm still holding out on built-in full text search, but recent releases like a task queue and an XMPP client are nice additions.
