The short answer. Don't. I convinced a client to use GAE and we both regret it. The App keeps going down at inopportune moments, the scheduled maintenance outages are in prime time. For the small number of users (about 600) we get far too many complaints about time out errors. They are random and there is nothing I can do to fix them. I don't even see timeouts in the two slow admin pages, they only happen to users.
The largest issue I have right now is Risk. Things keep breaking, you can not fix them yourselves and there is nobody to call. You post it here and hope they can fix. Because our app has a small user base GAE is essentially free. But I've spent enough time and heart ache with GAE that I should have used EC2, it would have been cheaper. I've got several clients now with more than a year without problems on EC2. Well, without problems caused by EC2 :-) There are other hosting solutions that have worked out the kinks, GAE has not. It's not ready for prime time. Rob.
