Are there some good examples of web2py running on Amazon's cloud? Are there any practical tutorials in this matter? ___
Re: Downside / Critique of web2py @ http://bit.ly/web2py-critique That thread prompts me to think that the Amazon cloud deserves more of our attention (relative to GAE Google App Engine). It seems that using web2py v1.50 on GAE will be computationally expensive due to the way it uses exec. Non-trival code needs to be compiled, but GAE prohibits pyc files from external origins. On the other hand, I would imagine that at Amazon one could simply just put the pyc files in the cloud, choose a VM configuration, and get going. The latency issue needs comparison. With compiled code in a dictionary solution, web2py can reportedly get down to 10 ms from around 800 ms at GAE. How would it be at Amazon? The other upside at the Amazon would be the implicit use of JOIN, OR, and LIKE for databases. (Noting that those operations are not permitted for GQL, GAE bigtable.) Furthermore, it also seems far more easier to take back one's own data, if necessary, from Amazon than from GAE. The bottom line is have great portable web2py solutions for cloud computing... at the lowest cost. (GAE is yet to announce prices beyond the current freebie, but be prepared.)
