Google App engine first impressions

I was one of the fortunate developers to get Google App Engine account. And I am trying to make use of it. I am developing a simple video sharing application. KaveMunn its pretty basic allows you to quickly share a link.

The feature I like the most is its SDK. You develop offline and once you are ready to go, just do an update and your app gets deployed. Thus no hassle of setting up box in datacenter. The whole app is to entierly written in Python. Its pretty neat!

Best part about Google App Engine includes:

  • Support to serve static files.
  • Uses Google’s Authentication API.
  • Has its own backend storage which uses BigTable.
  • Framework is MVCish.

Now users can focus on developing features as opposed to worring about scalbility.
