App Engine has no local disk storage, and limited local memcached
storage. It has a non-standard URL requesting mechanism that places
strict limits on the ability to load remote URLs, and has no bindings to
laod data through the more popular interfaces like Mapnik. Although it
would be possible to set up a minimal Proof of Concept, I highly doubt
it would work as a performant solution for caching of tiles that most
people are looking for.
