The White House hosted an online town hall meeting on GAE with GWT, and received 700 hits per second at its peak. http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2009/04/google-developer-products-help.html
But more than 1000 queries a second is never been tested. I think Java is not a good choice in your case. When your user suddenly increasing, starting a new Jave instance may cost more than 5 seconds, while Python needs less than 1 second. 2009/11/27 Eric <[email protected]>: > > Hi, > > I wish to set up a CPU-intensive time-important query service for > users on the internet. > Is GAE with Java the right choice?
