I’ll be asleep before midnight Google HQ Time. (which is what the world runs on)

But I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year.  This may be the Year of the Dragon in some cultures, but I really think this will be the year of the Cloud in many more cultures.

 

I’m betting pretty heavily on GAE as a PaaS and I know many of you are too.  Best of luck to all of you. Health, Wealth, and Luck in the new year, may all your code be efficient, and your bugs be resolved “By Design”.

Happy new year Brandon and I hope your projects and sucessful, had growth 2010-2011 and I wonder what an estimate for 2012 is like how pageview growth can relate to income growth since it's in practice not completely linear relation where I have a small project and I experience what all economists want: growth. In 2010 pageviews were totalling only about 29000 and in 2011 I climbed to >50k pageviews in same time so when I calculate growth I can't count linear since that will be unfeasible grow like this for many years. It's basically because my absolute levels are so low (some hundred pageviews daily when I aim for thousands) and I want my sites to be more busy so I'm naturally aiming at being able to scale to thousands of daily pageviews which would have been impossible with the hard drive limitations etc that my other service providers (local co-location or godaddy vrtual) were.

In short, app engine has allowed my main project to stay alive and get a far better hosting at an also lower price due to the cost-effectiveness of cloud hosting. What I'm poking with now is the control for F1, F2, F3 etc with MHZ and RAM and how they affect my business. I attach my adsense details that compare 2010 and 2011 to you and I hope that the terms allow me to share this info with you.

I also recently chose app engine for a new project that will be a webshop and we'll see how that turns out since it is more product selling focused that on a massive scale. The project where I want massive scale is were I do something like an ad posting system like craiglist, olx and likewise and that project I could localize with app engine to brazil and India so I'm very glad having migrated and being able to manage everything except PayPal details with python 2.7 and also enable facebook integration and now enjoying learning the new powerful API of webapp2 from webapp-improved.appspot.com

Thank you for a growth year and if my history in adsense look like the one I attach, how can I estimate my pageviews this year? I surely can't expect to double but 5 % growth I suppose I could count with after growing from 23 to 51 and soon my project will be mature enough to be called a CMS where if you like you can check in my respoitory.

And please any input for the 2 bugs I'm curently working on is highly appreciated. One is when upgrading to python 2.7 with the default PayPal example project that generates the bug "headers must be str" http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8634446/error-using-paypal-sandbox-api

And how to use multiple id:s with webapp2. It's stated that we can just add multiple auth id:s but how to practically code it is a question for me:

    @user_required
    def post(self, **kwargs):
        facebook_id = self.request.POST.get('facebook_id') #I can get my user's FB id
        auser = self.auth.get_user_by_session() #I can get my sessioned user
        userid = auser['user_id']
        user = auth_models.User.get_by_id(auser['user_id'])
        # how to do here to synchronize accounts ???
        user.put()
        return "Synced with Facebook account"

I've also posted about the code questions on stackoverflow to solve these 2 bugs which are the only bugs I've got. When we had a much more mixed environment like MySQL, Linux, Perl, Redhat Linux, Mandrake Linux, co-location, Apache / httpd / mod_jk / JBoss / tomcat etc there was always something with every component on that stack that you wanted to improve and couldn't now with app engine at least there seems to be a solution for everything even if you must code your way.

Best regards,
Niklas
