I am building everything on AppEngine atm. Initially it was just to prototype but I am thinking of launching a preview release of one app live

Can you talk about how big some of the larger customer apps are and how much traffic/uers they serve?

It would be easier for ppl in a position like mine to make decisions about AppEngine if there were big examples/case studies to point to in the same way Amazon, Heroku, Rackspace etc. do



I can't give any current numbers, but last year we did a blog post about Gigya who had an app that peaked at 1600QPS: http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2010/02/scalability-mean...


Not to disparage your post, but it contains only an inkling of substance. Some people managed to get 1600 QPS on GAE, that tells me absolutely nothing. What was their usage like? How much did they pay? What was their latency like? What did they think of GAE? Etc etc.


This is what I'm most concerned about. The OP claims that 50/sec was breaking things...which doesn't sound quite right to me. Any ideas?
