You dont really give any indication of the project you need to be 'fast' so sorry if i under-estimate your skill, but just as a reminder to anyone starting out... Unless your webapp (and it is a webapp, otherwise you would not pick appengine, right?) is **REALLY** heavy in need for CPU, progra

Let's not forget how long the instance startup time is for Java applications vs Python and Go. Of course, once Java gets warmed up it's quick, but that loading request can be painful. Though to be fair, it's much much better than it used to be. On Friday, August 22, 2014 1:15:23 AM UTC-4, Jeff

Oh yes, definitely... which goes to show that there are usually many more important factors than than raw execution speed. Although that said, if the app truly is compute-heavy, Python is almost certainly the wrong answer. For that matter, GAE is probably the wrong answer since instances are so un

Sorry to take so long to chime in! A couple things occurred to me that you might want to consider: 1. App Engine is addressed primarily towards building web sites and services, not heavy back end processing. That doesn't mean it can't be made to work, but you might want to consider building you

Thank you Vinny, I am about runtime speed. I have a code in C++ and I would like to run the program in App Engine. I am wondering which language is fast in app engine in terms of execution time. Regards Olivier Le mardi 22 juillet 2014 22:34:53 UTC+2, Olivier Austina a écrit : > > > Hi All, > >
