Some of you may think of dragons as ferocious, treasure-hoarding, fire-breathing monsters. But the App Engine team is embracing the dragon as a symbol of fortune and good luck, and we are excited to announce our first release in the Year of the Dragon.Experimental Datastore Backup/RestoreUsing the Datastore Admin functionality in the Admin Console, you can now use the experimental Datastore Backup/Restore tool to backup your Datastore to Blobstore. You can also select a backup to restore from. The Datastore Backup/Restore feature runs as a MapReduce...

Today’s post is contributed by our Summer 2011 team intern, Chris Bunch. Chris did some great work on our Logs and MapReduce APIs and is also the first “App Engine Triple Crown” winner for developing the Experimental Logs Reader API in Python, Java and Go simultaneously. Four years ago, I was a brand-new Ph.D. student at the University of California, Santa Barbara and when our research group (the RACELab) heard about Google App Engine, we were intrigued....

Cross posted from the Google Code Blog Google Cloud Storage is a robust, high-performance service that enables developers and businesses to use Google’s infrastructure to store and serve their data. Today, we’re announcing a new feature that gives you greater control over concurrent writes to the same object, and the availability of an App Engine Files API that makes it easier to read and write data from Java App Engine applications.Write concurrency controlA number of our customers have asked us for greater control over concurrent writes,...

Once upon a time, the only way to store persistent data in App Engine was to use the Master/Slave Datastore. Although it was a transactional, massively scalable, fully managed, distributed storage system running on Google’s world-class infrastructure, its availability was tied to the availability of a single datacenter, and when you’re serving hundreds of thousands of applications, relying on any single datacenter is simply not sufficient. One year ago today we unveiled a new offering that was specifically designed to address this weakness:...
