Wordpress + AppEngine = PressEngine

[Trung]

Hi friends,

Just inform you that we are setting up WordPress running on AppEngine
using Cloud SQL database.

See http://pressengine.appspot.com/

Hope this help.

That's great. It would be nice if you can writeup a nice tutorial for noobs.

I think it is straightforward, just 2 Java class files and some
standard configuration in appengine-web.xml and web.xml

And source code is included in the download file.

The WP for Appengine is poorly optimized. I run several WP installs with Appengine as a Page Level Cache/Proxy in front of them, to make them scale very affordably, but that is for sites doing millions of visitors a month not 100s a day.

Wonderful information, thanks a lot

Scalability-wise and cost-wise can you make a basic analysis?

If I had to guess I would say costs would be higher than regular hosting (cheap server manual hosting), and is Cloud SQL scalable?

nice news about this theme:

launch of the PHP runtime for App Engine = ease of use of open source projects like Wordpress and more.. so, apart of Quercus library to use PHP projects, now we have the option to implement those projects on Google Cloud Platform directly..

more details here:

https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/php/gettingstarted/

sample of wordpress running on GAE platform:

https://gaeforphp-blog.appspot.com/

register an app (you'll need a GAE account)

https://gaeforphp.appspot.com/

best to all !

I just saw the PHP Feature, can't believe I didn't see any hype before your post

imo, web is full of php-based junk, now their job will be much easier, not good news for me :)

[@Mlaynes]

..really PHP is a language with quite a presence in the web development world .. and a lot of opensource projects very interesting like Wp, Elgg, Drupal, Magento and others, now they will can to run within GAE platform without major changes.. I think is a great news

more details about running Wordpress directly on GAE platform :

Also, we'll be updating this blog on a fairly frequent basis until PHP goes GA:

https://gaeforphp-blog.appspot.com/

There are already some tips related to WordPress there.  And of course the blog itself runs on WordPress (btw, I believe the WordPress folks are quite particular about using a capital 'P').

cheers,

Peter

yeah!.. we have multiple nice news there..

https://gaeforphp-blog.appspot.com/2013/06/14/announcing-the-google-app-engine-wordpress-plugin/

https://gaeforphp-blog.appspot.com/2013/06/13/whats-new-for-php-in-the-app-engine-1-8-1-release/

https://gaeforphp-blog.appspot.com/2013/05/26/setting-up-phpmyadmin-on-app-engine/

believe me? GAE-PHP seems to me more fast than GAE-Java, GAE-Python (to starting)

less latency on Google Cloud SQL ?
