I have an OpenSocial application with a Python App Engine back-end, and would like to make a copy of it to use for development, so that users don't experience strange problems when I make mistakes. I notice that there is versioning available, but I would like a separate data store too.
It would be convenient to use the local App Engine for this, but I'm not sure if that is possible. My app is currently on MySpace, and I would guess I cannot set it up to call my local machine as back-end. Also setting up a container to run my apps in locally seems like a lot of work compared to the benefit, so seems like a separate app on App Engine is the right way to go. I have millions of entities in my data store, so I wonder what would be the most convenient way to copy them over to the new development app? There must be something easier than writing specific copying code myself. Then I will need to create separate apps on the social networks as well, the current production app that is open to the public, then a new development one that is private to me and uses the different app engine app as back end. Every time I want to release a new feature, I will need to copy over the code from development side to production side, and try not to forget changing client-side reference to the back-end to point to the correct place. Does this sound like the right approach? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
