Just for the record, the app I was talking about might only have 2000 users, but it is by no means a simple application.
I has approximateley 30 different models. Fully defined with RBAC security model scoped down to parts of models. reporting, audit trail records for every change to data, (when and what was changed, by who), etc.... The entire system is modeled in UML, python models, views, URL paths, security declarations, form schemas all directly generated from the model. What elements of a view appear for the combination of user, context, and view control page layout, so the application is intensely dynamic and most cached data's scope is only effective for a single user. So even complex applications can be run in a cost effective manner on appengine. But no point trying to stick a square peg in a round whole. If you data model, or processing requirements don't suit appengine and you can't start instances quickly then you may well be on the wrong platform. Now more than my 2c worth ;-) T -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
