Google app engine is interesting.

I have been working with GAE. Letting them host your app in a highly available distributed setup is very easy. It has a few limitations and I am not sure yet how it would be possible to handle more complex apps that require background jobs, uploads and other things. I think that google should look into allowing scheduled jobs to be setup in the dashboard. Specify the time and the python file and method to run.

Its nice that django is offered but its very limited. A few helpful projects exist to fix some of the limitations. Django AE utils provides a User model and Session backend for the django session middleware. It uses google app engine datastore. I would like to figure out a good way to test its performance. It might be worth trying to use memcache.

I am really enjoying the python world. I haven’t really touched PHP in a year.

Happy coding!
