google cloud storage (gcs) advertises strong read-after-write consistency, so i thought it would provide a cheap way to implement a chatroom webapp on gae. frequent polling of gae would be expensive, so it would work like this:
when a user says something in the chatroom, the browser sends the msg to gae, which updates a json-formattted file on gcs. all users constantly poll gcs (once per second?) to see if anything has been said in the chatroom. would this be a viable solution? sufficiently cheap/fast? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
