I have a video on the topic coming shortly. Boils down to GAE is pretty much the only PAAS, and IAAS still requires an I Manager. So you save a head count out the get go.
Plus GAE is the most elastic of the Rapidly Elastic, so when CrunchMashSlashScobleForbesModo writes about you all on the same day you won't be down. And when you have crickets. You aren't going broke. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Levi Campbell Sent: Friday, August 03, 2012 2:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [google-appengine] What are the pros and cons of using Google App engine for my startup? I'm building a startup, and I'm considering GAE as the platform, however I've been having a hard time finding information on why a startup might consider GAE instead of the many cloud providers out there. Let me explain what I'm working on. I'm a big fan of David Allen's Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity <http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/01420 00280/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343984264&sr=8-1&keywords=Getting+things+done> , and after trying several tools and online services that (claim to) implement the GTD methodology, I couldn't find anything that I loved, so I decided to build my own and make it available as a SaaS offering. This app will allow users to pull in their info_crap from email, facebook, twitter (and yes, I do have plans to add support for more social networks.), and RSS feeds and organize it by relationship to the sender (i.e. family, work colleague, vendor, and the like), project (i.e. planning a family vacation.), and context (Either the when or where something should happen.).\ Would GAE be a good fit for the application I'm developing?
