One of the coolest features of App Engine is the Google account integration, which gets lost a little as people outline all the Big Table and other such features around scalability. So how do I see this playing in the larger Open Social picture? One of the hardest things about Facebook apps is trying to scale them, and Google has effectively taken this off the table. Of course, you could deploy a Facebook app from App Engine, but the integration points -- i.e. Google account integration -- fit better for Google-based social apps. And I do love that it does WSGI and smells a little like Django. </p> Wed, 09 Apr 2008 07:30:51 PDT http://code.google.com/appengine/ http://ma.gnolia.com/people/deryck/bookmarks/yachube google web apps deployment scalability
