Forking this question from a different thread since changing topic. I've tried the welcome app n read through the docs, things were a breeze to set up. I'm now at the data modeling stage for my app. I'm quite familiar with bigtable, and most probably going to deploy my startup live on app-engine for the initial launch.
Now my question: the data model I would design if backend were mySQL, would be quite different from if it's bigtable. and I see the DAL layer tries to abstract away this logic providing a sql-like interface so that backends can be switched. What are best practices if we were to go the app-engine route? Does using web2py make things slower if its bigtable? I know NDB support is in the works... https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/web2py/Tek9hreXC3U/a5Wo210ekF0J but would that let me take advantage of powerful features of NDB? or is NDB treated just like a SQL database for backwards compatability Do ppl using app-engine with web2py use DAL? Can we directly talk to app-engine from web2py?
