Vince I didn't know you invented the
GAE-VFS<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg10479.html>,
very cool!
So there are 3 places to store files:
- In the Datastore as Text or Blob
- Dynamic, usable at run-time, mainly for end-user uploads/downloads
- 1mb limit per file
- Compiled into your project
- Static, mainly for site assets like images or flash movies
- 1,000 file limit, but that must include all cfm's, jars, libs,
javascript and other code, etc.
- GAE-VFS
- Dynamic, non-permanent
- Not sure what the limits are
So is the GAE-VFS mainly for easier migration of cfml applications? Are
there other interesting use-cases to consider? Maybe for example as an
intermediete layer to store big files in S3? Or perhaps one could have users
upload files slightly larger than 1mb to the VFS, then have the app
compress/zip them to below 1mb for storage in the Datastore (is that even
possible)?
Does google have a plan or answer for files bigger than 1mb, or are we
expected to use another service like S3 for that purpose, and store the
links/metadata of those files in the Datastore?
Just to be sure, if you had a site with lots of file upload and download
activity of files under 1mb, the Datastore is tuned and built for such
in/out activity, correct?
Cheers,
Baz
