Thanks guys, your replies have so far been really insightful. I totally agree with that Google App won't be able to handle that many requests at this stage (being free and all) but I haven't even started developing the app, so reaching a hundred thousand users is still far away, but what I would like to do is build a system, keeping in mind that I would have to serve that many users in the near future.
So guys, how would you actually go about designing a system which has scalability built into it from day one.. I'm a total newbie here, so please excuse me if my questions are a bit general. I've heard that its essential in scalable systems to keep the server as stateless as possible, and not to keep to much data in the memory but rather store it in the database, so my question is, how do you do about making sure that your database doesn't end up being a bottleneck. Any other advices would be welcome and highly appreciated.
