Hello all, I'm using GAE as a backend for a desktop app, and the app sends potentially large compressed data to GAE, (max file size around 5mb - average around 500k).
I see two ways to accomplish this upload - using the regular blobstore upload API, or the new file API. The downside of the regular blobstore api is that the desktop app needs to first request an upload URL, and then do multipart-form encoding of the data that its sending. Also, the desktop app authenticates via oauth, and receives some data back from GAE as http headers. Using the regular blobstore upload api makes all of this more complicated. So, I would like to have the app do a regular POST and then have GAE write the data to the blobstore via the new files api, but I'm not sure about how that performs next to the standard API. Performance is very important so I need the request to return as quickly as possible, and I suspect that the new API won't write to the blobstore as fast as the standard API.
