It's written by a PHP/LAMP guy struggling with the language, not the service.
GAE vs EC2 is really about what are you doing with the platforms. There are even cases where you may want to do portions of an application that run on GAE, and others that Run on EC2. For Instance. I'm using GAE to deliver all of the static portions of my websites because the cost per bit is cheaper and the multiple Points of presence gives better Repsonse time to my visitors. But Many of those sites use EC2 for doing API calls to up to 40 sources at a time, because GAE has a 10 second Limit and some of those API's take 11 seconds to come back, individually, let alone all at once. It's like comparing my '66 Mustang to my '08 Mini cooper. In the quarter mile the Stang is faster, but at Leguna Seca the Mini is almost twice as fast. And For Cruizing to the Frozen Yogourt stand the Stang gets more head turns, but cross country the mini gets better milage. Each tool has its right purpose. Neither Google nor Amazon are idiots. They approached the market differently, but possibly equally. You need to look at your application, not the results of a guy with a strange .by domain name. -Brandon Wirtz BlackWaterOps.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of walterc Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 7:26 AM To: Google App Engine Subject: [google-appengine] Why Google AppEngine sucks is there any response to this: http://3.14.by/en/read/why-google-appengine-sucks we are seriously considering using gae over ec2 but if there is any truth to the issues raised in the above link, we might need to reconsider. of course we will do some preliminary stress testing of our own before we decide but it does raise concerns. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
