I finally got my iPhone app communicating reliably with the GAE Datastore through a rest engine. However, the response time was so slow as to call into question the viability of using GAE in my project.
Response time was about 5 sec. to simply download the metadata for a single object type, and closer to 10 sec. for a list of five objects. By comparison, a 70 object Freebase query (using Mjt) took less than 2 sec., so I know it's not my net connection. Web responsiveness seems typical in my other activities on the same platform and network in that time frame. Is the Datastore just really slow today, or is this typical? I always planned to put a set of "view" scripts in front of the datastore so I could send the far more efficient JSON and only send the data I need for any given request, but even if I cut response times in half that way it would be too slow. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
