Blog Post on OpenBD on GAE - Aaron Lynch

[Matthew Woodward]

Apologize for the cross-posting if you're on the OpenBD mailing list as well, but this is of interest to Mach-II users as well.

Aaron Lynch has a nice blog post on running OpenBD on Google App Engine:

So why would Mach-II users be interested? I'll let Peter confirm, but with a recent change suggested by Dave Shuck that's related to how Mach-II does dynamic method injection (involves the "depends" attribute) you can now run Mach-II on Google App Engine. According to Aaron's blog post ColdSpring works as well, so this is great news for people developing apps with Mach-II and ColdSpring who are wanting to explore what GAE has to offer.

You can see Mach-II in action on GAE here (Dave Shuck's GAE app):

Hats off to everyone involved with the OpenBD on GAE effort, and to Dave and Peter for narrowing the depends issue down and getting it resolved. Bonus: you get a huge load time improvement even if you aren't running your Mach-II apps on GAE.

I think this will be a GREAT way to run CFML apps as all the wrinkles continue to get ironed out.
