Gaelyk is a perfectly fine choice. It sounds to me like you might be uncomfortable separating out the individual parts of your app (the Compute Engine part, and the App Engine section). If so, you'll want to investigate using Managed VMs: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/managed-vms/ . Using this, you can still run on an App Engine environment but still be free to run your "less limited" processes. ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Consultant Chicago, IL App Engine Code Samples: http://www.learntogoogleit.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
