The datastore performs well except for the daily delay hour. Currently we have not figure out why the delay happened arount 11:00PM. Our site does not have much traffic at that time. Maybe it is the local problem because 11:00PM is also the peak time of the internet here. Good news is that our QA guy doesn't report it as an issue yet. The images are displayed as the search result,i.e., for every entries, we display a thumnail (~3K). The number of entries are around 13,000. We hope to keep the system configuration simple. For full-text search, a extra searching server has already engaged. The browser firstly querying the resulting list of ids of entries, then querys every entries content and thumbnails from the GAE datastore. If we move the static files to CDN, then the GAE might become overkilling for us. On the other hand, utilizing CDN to host those small amount of tiny files might also be overkilling. I am very much appreciating your response. Personally, GAE/python is my favorite and hope to stay on it along with the growing of the traffic and scale. We will keep on the current implementation which retrieve the thumbnail and origin images from the datastore. And expecting for a better solution in the feature on GAE. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
