I am starting to have doubts about continuing to develop my applications for GAE. My concerns are not technical although I have a some anxieties about transaction data propagation performance.
My concerns center around Google’s commitment to the App Engine project. Compared to Amazon’s Web Service forums this place feels like a technical backwater. Developers hosting on Amazon AWS post interesting questions and get deep-dive replies promptly from Amazon staff. Amazon is releasing new Cloud development services monthly yet all we get is minor patches. Here on the GAE forum elementary questions about how GAE ticks go unanswered for months. Basic roadmap type info such as will we get SSL or scheduled tasks is missing. I just feel that the GAE Team is not building up any development stream in what should be the last 4 month run up to the year-end release. Communication with the developer community here is abysmal compared to the investment in developer relations made by companies such as Microsoft, Redhat or Amazon. What’s happened to the early buzz Google? Has the top bass pinched half the team to firefight problems on another project? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
