Dear appengine team & community. We're considering to spend time and resources developing solutions/ software using appengine. One of the reasons we still have our doubts about investing into this "way of working" is that it could be difficult to convince companies to choose for solutions where an important part of their data is hosted at a third-party provider (google). Of course there are important advantages (less infrastructure cost, a small chance that they do a better job than google on the level of scalability, failover, ...) but currently it seems very hard for us to convince management of potential clients to "trust" a solution built upon and running in a typical appengine environment. Maybe, future developments might make it possible to install & run "components developed on appengine" on a local system (e.g. bdbdatastore,... ) but if we would do this, it's probably better (read - easier to sell) to choose a "traditional" (software) stack...
Do you have any material, papers, information, ideas,... which could help us finding out if it would be wise to invest in the approach where we would choose appengine as a platform to develop solutions. Our main question is "would thirdparty companies trust/choose a solution built & running on appengine [at google]). Thanks a lot for your input & ideas. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
