At the risk of someone tracking down my comments and using them against me… I talked to them the other day… They don’t get it. My product has a version that runs on AWS and we tested it with Dynamo, it isn’t as fast as memcache. It’s not as fast as DataStore. They claimed they would be tuning it, but the it just isn’t as mature as Datastore. A lot of why I started down the path of performance testing today was because Amazon CloudFront guys were talking about how great their product was and I said, it was slower than mine, and they came up with 2 countries (out of 12 tested) that were faster than me. But only by a few milliseconds. Switching to Route53, and now with a few optimization to how my app initializes I’m faster than they are again, (and you don’t need to understand anything about your infrastructure or your code to implement my solution). Think about that. My software running on Google’s PaaS is faster and easier to implement than what I believe is the second largest CDN on the net. That is a powerful statement. Sure about me, but more about the power of the Google platform. Truly enterprise scale systems that perform like purpose built solutions. Amazon cost of delivery works out to be 16 cents a gig, we average 18. (we hope to have this to 16 with the new changes). I don’t have the biggest deployment on AppEngine. I don’t spend the most money. There are for sure bigger and better stories out there, but Google is on the right track.

Wow...
But on the other side, you seem to have missed the part where they claim this thing would be nearly as fast as our memcache here. We will see, but: We GAE users are at the moment in no position to make a paradoy of anything in the Amazon cloud world. The less restricted IAAS together with PAAS seems to work much better. Many startups work with Amazon IAAS as foundation to provide PAAS on top of that (Heroku, OpenShift etc). The Open Source community for Amazon is _much_ bigger. The Google marketing etc. is...other topic ;) In can see where this goes in the long run...*wave* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
