Re: [google-appengine] app engine noob... General questions about the app engine

I'd say it is well-suited to storing and serving images submitted by your
users.  Just store them in the blobstore and serve them up with the
High-Performance Image Serving.  It is mentioned in this blog post:

http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2010/08/multi-tenancy-support-high-performance_17.html

If you need to do lots of complicated image transforms, then AE may not
provide enough features, but for simple crops and resizes it works well.

[google-appengine] app engine noob... General questions about the app engine

[ICPooreMan]

So I'm just getting started evaluating if the app engine is right for
me and I like what I've seen so far.  There's a couple things I'm
curious about though.

1)  Can you and how do you get a backup of the database.  I haven't
found anything on this subject that looks current.  Can anyone point
me in the right direction?

2)  Does the app engine lend itself to hosting a decent amount of
uploaded images?  I'm planning on building a website where if it ever
got a large amount of traffic there'd be a good amount of user
generated content especially pictures.
