GAE or Dotcloud?
I have been thinking which to use.
I am already using Google App Engine (Java) for a few years, running a couple of web apps on production. And paying them ever since they started charging.
I tried a few apps on Dotcloud, but never yet deployed any on production.
Here’s what I think of them.
GAE
+ Reliable
+ Great Docs
+ Great Community
+ On demand scaling
- Some restrictions
- User Agent has GAE..
Dotcloud
+ Shell access
+ Can use pip install
+ Can run worker processes
- Too much things to handle
- Easily use up workers/services - Redis, MySQL, Python, ...
- Higher startup cost
Conclusion
As a one-man-show developer, my bet is on GAE.
Though it is less flexible, it will save time and money.
