Posted by Brett Slatkin, App Engine TeamWe're psyched to announce that developers can now purchase additional computing resources on App Engine, enabling apps to scale beyond our free quotas. This has been our most requested improvement to App Engine and we're thrilled to deliver it, as promised.When we released App Engine last April, it was completely free to use, but each application was limited to a set of fixed resource usage quotas. The free quotas are still there, but now you can grow beyond them.You can now set a daily budget for your app...

Back to the Future for Data Storage
Posted on 11:07 by Unknown
Building a massive, distributed datastore which can service requests at an extremely high throughput is something that we've focused on at Google. We created something called Bigtable that underlies the datastore in App Engine. The design for Bigtable focused on scalability across a distributed system so it may operate a bit differently than databases you've worked with before, such as not supporting joins. This isn't an accident -- when you build a system that can scale to the size that Bigtable can there's no way to do a general purpose join...

Web App Wednesday, Mashup, Backup, and Decay
Posted on 16:08 by Unknown
Posted by Jeff Scudder, App Engine TeamMichael Bernstein is doing something I find very interesting. Not only is he creating applications on App Engine, he creates a new one every Wednesday. His site, appropriately named Web App Wednesday, is where he is creating a new web application every Wednesday, starting first with the site itself, followed by F/OSS License Info, a single-page site that displays information about the most common Open Source software licenses. Another recent app, LinQR , is a URL shortening service and QR code generator. Good...

The sky's (almost) the limit! "High CPU" is no more.
Posted on 16:05 by Unknown
Posted by Pete Koomen, App Engine TeamWe're very excited today to announce that we've raised limits on several App Engine operations:No more "High CPU Requests"! App Engine Apps were once allowed no more than 2 CPU-intensive requests per minute. We've made some adjustments to the way we handle requests, and have eliminated this limitation altogether. To learn more about how this works and the implications for your app, see our documentation.Response deadline raised to 30 seconds. The amount of time an App Engine app can take to respond to an...
