As far as I am aware, that's all pretty much still true. A couple points though:
1. They were using Java. If they used Python (or better yet, Go), two of those issues would disappear because Python and Go can both spin up a new instance in less than a second. If you are doing a big production scaling mess like they are, using Java on GAE is a REALLY bad choice. A REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD CHOICE. Don't do it. 2. If you do not expect massive usage, then this article is completely irrelevant to you. I have several applications with just thousands of daily users, and I've never had an issue with any of this stuff. The only complaint I have about GAE is the lack of API stability. I hate that I need to go back and change my applications that are working perfectly fine because Google decided to migrate from one datastore to another, or one python version to another, or whatever. But even that is balanced by the fact that they leave the deprecated stuff working for THREE YEARS, which is really kind of amazing. -Joshua On Aug 5, 2014, at 1:37 AM, James Foster <[email protected]> wrote: > I came across this article today: > http://techtraits.com/system%20admin/2013/02/24/The-problems-of-working-in-App-engine/ > > I'm considering undertaking my second project in App Engine (larger than the > first), but am a bit worried about some of the pitfalls in the article.
