Scrapping the project… Sorry Google App Engine
I have decided to put my filesharing project on a hold for now…
The problem with the whole idea is that Google App Engine don’t allow me to handle data requests larger that 1 MB without going through the Blobstore interface. This would be now big problem for me except the fact that to use the Blobstore API my account should enable billing. The… Setup… Process… Of… Billing… And… Quotas… Is… Long… And… Hard… Geez! There are various (personal as well as non-personal) reasons that I just don’t feel like enabling billing on my Google App Engine account just yet…
So for now – this project has been shelved – at least for the Google App Engine platform – I am (as you would guess) still keen on the whole idea and will look into a more traditional development environment ASAP.
