Simple alternative to AppScale and TyphoonAE

[Ricardo Bánffy]

Hi.

Both TyphoonAE and AppScale seem very geared towards PaaS providers
who want to let their clients safely deploy applications written for
GAE. Has anyone started a project aimed at allowing individuals or
small teams to deploy apps writter for GAE on their own servers? I
understand the idea of GAE (and AppScale and TyphoonAE) is to make
insanely scalable deployments, but, sincerely, most of us will never
need to go beyond 10 rps served off an EC2 t1.micro instance. And, if
it really needs to scale, redeploying to Google's infrastructure would
be a no brainer.

If you don't need to scale, then develop your app under WSGI instead.
It'll be much easier because you can use standard databases instead of
the datastore, and you won't have the pure-python and other service
limits GAE has to impose to scale safely.

What if I have an app already written for GAE and want it hosted
elsewhere, but I don't require GAE/AppScale/TyphoonAE scalability nor
want to spend the effort required to set up AppScale or TAE?

Hi Ricardo,

I'd recommend taking another look at TyphoonAE; it's pretty much exactly designed for what you're trying to do. TyphoonAE's support for app deployment is simply a convenience to make development easier.

Ricardo,

in case you want to give TyphoonAE a go, pass me a message. I'm currently gearing it up for Python 2.7 and proper SQL support.

Cheers,

Tobias
