My question was more about what the absolute minimum requirements, lowest entry barrrier, for a web2py ERP would be. What if the ERP was to be used by an organisation that doesnt have a budget for a VPS yet, it would be great if they could start using it on the free GAE, maybe not perfect, but it works. Once they organisation grows, they can still rent a VPS, but even then they might prefer a scalable PAAS solution. Will web2py ERP's work on GAE out of the box?
