Thats pretty cool. Just looked at the SQlite example for backend VM on python. It raises an obvious question, what app server runtime are you running on the vm backend to support a deployed python app. Is it the new dev_appserver or something else ? What sort of concurrency does it support ? I note in the document the getting started guide all requests pass straight through to the backend, and there for concurrency has to be managed on the vm. How would someone approach this ?
