Using Google's App Engine as CDN for static files
- by Saif Bechan
I am planning on moving my static files to Google's App Engine. I was wondering if this is a good idea to do.
I have read that is it possible that Google will cache your files on multiple locations, which is a good thing in my opinion.
The setup should also be quite easy in eclipse with the GAE plugins.
But i still have my doubts on the performance of this. Is the setup of App Engine optimized for serving static content. Now I have Nginx server my static content, will App Engine perform the same way.
Are there any other ups or downs using this method?
