[Tilecache] Anyone try running TileCache on Google App Engine?

[Josh Livni]

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.

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.
