I'm asking because I am starting on a new application that will need to scale to millions of users, the application needs beyond the scalability are not difficult, bigtable is actually a very good fit for my data needs, and given the current financial situation I thought google appengine might be useful. However in researching the current status of the platform I came across this blog posting: http://aralbalkan.com/1504 "Why Google Appengine is broken and what google must do to fix it" Since the problems outlined in the article would create the results I must avoid, that of an application that fails significantly at the very moment of success (a large spike in usage), and that would also require me paying for usage at a point when that usage would - due to the issues outlined in the blog post - be unlikely to give any financial benefit.
Now I don't really know if these issues the blog post lists are correct, so I would like feedback - can it be confirmed that these issues exist, what time frame is given for working on them if they are as described, are there workarounds? I suppose the situation is as stands, and will carry on with that supposition if I don't see a response: that the blog is correct and that the problems are not going to have any resolution soon. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
