[google-appengine] Re: Storage: alternatives to Blobstore

My bad Ikai. The distinction between the two occurred to me as I was
watching some of the I/O videos last week and I thought the same
thing.

 datastore blob storage instead of BigTable, though, but that's a nitpick.

[google-appengine] Re: Storage: alternatives to Blobstore

2011-02-06 Thread Ernesto Karim Oltra
I use Google Docs currently in my projects to give my clients the
control over their files: list, rename, delete, move, etc. I
programmed a synchronisation cron every hour or so to cache data
localy in datastore. The advantage is I haven't got to programme all
that boring ui: remove, rename, etc.

 Hi all,

 I need to develop a GAE app that receives documents (pdf or scanned images)
 via incoming mail and stores them in a repository.

 Once stored, all docs are public available.

 The standard solution would be the Blobstore but I was wondering if other
 alternatives are actually possible and if they have advantages, for example:
 - Uploading the document/photo to a Google Sites well-known page via GData
 api - this is probably slow but cheap (using Google Apps 10GB are free) and
 the documents are easily accessed via the Sites UI.
 - Using Google Storage: this is slightly more expensive but the uploaded
 file can be served directly from the Google storage, bypassing GAE, thus
 saving cpu time and bandwidth.

 Any advice ?

 Thanks
 Roberto
