What is the better way to deal with static images/icons? Blobstore or ?

[Leandro Rezende]

Deploying the images with my application or use Blobstore?

[Max]

If they are all static files not not supposed to be changed then deploy with your application. 

You will have to write some extra migration scripts if you want to use Blobstore.

Thx Max =)

when we request an image from Blobstore, calling  from its url like (http://lh6.ggpht.com/TW2oeYogkQCoP0RpjnjTW05CaXyl1wjTAv968c_8qGYOqIuRk2dvs9Uq8dMuYXpxNquKSCwL0AWOwjkMQ6IzyUv-DJ79=s280) does it consume "Data Read Operation" quota?

Also, if you deploy them as static files in your application, GAE handles them differently and they will likely load faster for your users than from the Blobstore, somewhat like a CDN.

So Blobstore is better for user-generated and/or other dynamic/changing content.

Hope this helps,
