Hi, So basically my background is java and scripting languages web application development, RDMS, that sort of thing.I have a project I'd like to build with GAE because it is expected to be very popular and needs to scale.
I'm used to scalability issues because I build serveral large sites which ran into issues that went beyond the sort of thing you can solve by 'better indexing your queries' - so I do understand the need for a mindset change and a different approach to architecture (denormalization, etc). I also do understand that there are limitations that are inherent to GAE and I'll have to live with it. However, I am concerned that these limits will prevent us to even build the application - in particular, here's a scenario I'd like to know if it is possible to deploy or not: - Users (probably around 50,000 for starters, to scale to 500-600K), create 'mini websites'. Each of these sites contains various types of media (image gallery, blog, etc). - A 'centralized', parent site give visitors the chance to 'browse' these sites. For example, the specs require that a page holding 'the last 400 blog posts posted by any of the mini-sites owners' be displayed. It should also be possible to filter all the mini sites content by tag . So for example, if I clicked the 'cats' tag, I'd get a recordset containing all the content that was ever posted about cats, regardless of source (blog, images, etc). It means searching through dozens of millions of rows for each 'table' - and there's a 'table' for each type of content (because a blog post is structured differently from an image gallery). Since I read so much about limitations on large queries, etc, I was wondering if the above is even something I could consider for implementation on GAE. Thank you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
