I think the issue is that while you might get a nice # of hits per day, the max disk space is quite small (500mb) ... and you have no access to disk anyway, so you'd basically be just using it as a frontend to point to somewhere else where the actual tiles are... if that location is usually somewhere like S3 then you might as well use ec2 instead. <br>
<br>Perhaps for a small amt of tiles you could write a storage where it saves them as blobs with a key in the appengine datastore, but I doubt most would find the effort worth it.<br><br> -Josh<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Seems like a good fit, a nice home for a python application.. Anyone tried it? Thoughts?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><font color="#888888"><br>Chris Marx<br>Programmer/Analyst<br>Cornell Lab of Ornithology<br>159 Sapsucker Woods Rd.<br>
