What he's saying is correct, GAE limitations are documented but: "Since the last update they did in september 2010, we starting facing random 500 error codes that some days got the site down 60% of the time. 6 times out of 10, users visiting the site couln't register or use the site. Many people complained about the same in the forums while google engineers gave us no answer. After days they used to send and email saying that they were aware of the problem and were working on it, but no solutions where given. In november, an engineer answered in a forum that our website had to load into memory in less than 1 second, as pretty much every request was loading a completelly new instance of the site. 1 second? Totally crazy. We have 15000 lines of code and we have to load django. How can we make it under 1 second?"
this is our same experience. We're willing to pay for our application being available but this is not possible. Commercially speaking Azure proposal from MSFT is much much better. frankly we have heavily invested in our time to deliver our GAE appliaction (try it at: http://netnumero.appspot.com/company/mycompany) just to discover if someone don't use it for more than 10 sec. it go down and must be redeployed: 5 second delay plus all memcached erased. Fortunately this is moonlighting for us, so we can wait a bit and decide later if move away. But at the moment GAE is not a professional offer. cheers Uberto On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 4:02 AM, Vanni.T <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey guys, > this post ("Goodbye, Google App Engine") is #1 (201 points in 5 hours) on > Hacker News: > http://www.carlosble.com/?p=719 > http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1927903 > It is a horrible, uninformed anti-GAE article.
