Increase apps size restriction above 10 megabytes?

[Ed Estes]

Greetings.

According to the Google App Engine Quotas, apps are restricted to a maximum size of 10 megabytes when deployed.  Is there a way to increase this?  I have a .dat database file that is 30MB that I need to upload and access within my python app.

TIA.

Unfortunately, there isn't. Can this be loaded into the blobstore? There are methods to programmatically read from the blobstore:

Thanks Ikai,

That was my fallback if there wasn't a way to increase the amount of app space. I was hoping that once one moved to a billable model, the app quota could be raised (within reason) like many of the other billable items.

We'll look at ways of storing the database in the blobstore and then loading it from there when our app starts up instead of from the file system.

Cheers!

I think there are some descrepancies in the docs about the max application size.  In some places the max app size is listed as 10mb, others 150mb (Max file size of 10mb).

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/runtime.html#Quotas_and_Limits
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/runtime.html#Quotas_and_Limits

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html#Deployments

I'm pretty sure there are others that list 10mb too.

10 for app, 150 for static assets.

I don't think that is correct, at least not according to some of the docs:

- maximum size of an application file: 10 megabytes
- maximum size of a static file: 10 megabytes
- maximum total size of all application and static files: 150 megabytes

But that is exactly my point, I think there are discrepancies in the docs.

Did someone fill a doc bug for this ?

Thanks in advance.
