+1 Don't spend time on flame wars. Go out and do something. :) AppEngine Java is working very well for us. Sure, we run into problems once in a while, but nothing that has proved overly hard to solve. And having the platform maintained by Google is proving very valuable to us, it seriously cuts down on maintenance cost. We do full text search and it's not a "hack". We do URLFetch and don't run into the problems mentioned there. The key has been to learn the platform first and write with its limitation in mind. (And most of them I don't see so much as "limitations", but rather as "good practices" that will allow you to develop a scalable application.) You can see our app there: http://corp.bookedin.net/ Cheers, Philippe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
