this is true, but at a much lower level than you've interpreted it. gmail uses GFS, Chubby, and other internal shared infrastructure for cluster management, monitoring, etc. app engine uses all of those too, which is what we meant by "implemented on the same infrastructure." the app engine datastore is specific to app engine, though, and gmail doesn't currently run on app engine, so it doesn't use the datastore. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
