If this really were true (and fortunately it is not), then GAE would be a failure. If every GAE application had to be decomposed and reassembled with fine-grained micro-optimizations, it would take 10X the time to develop on GAE than on any other cloud platform. It would destroy the value proposition. Fortunately this is not the case. For many problem domains, GAE is the "faster and easier" development platform. But there are grey areas and it's important to know the boundaries. >> Once more you are generalizing from an extremely limited problem domain. > > You mean my natural language processor that has to compute the parts of > speech for every word in a document? > Or maybe my Image tool that auto-crops images so that they fit in a given > aspect ratio? > Or my content classifier that puts content in to classifications based on > the context and word usage? > Or my GEO tool that converts your IP Address to a metro, and generates best > version of ads for local targeting? > Or my SEO tool that scores a body of content against rules Google uses to > rank content? > Maybe you were talking about my widget tool that does Content relatedness > for suggesting other articles on the same topic? Actually, yes, I mean exactly this. What's missing from this list something representative of the "typical business app": lots of transactional logic woven through complicated business rules. The core element of your optimization strategy - breaking down an app into separately-deployed components - is antithetical to transactions, which are the bread-and-butter of 90% of business processing.
