Awesome news, been waiting for some of these features for a long time. Great work GAE team, you're building a very viable service here. I believe platform-as-a-service is the next step after infrastructure-as-a-service.
Why channel is not a real websocket ? It's for compatibility issues ? Because specs are not finnished ? Is there a way to force websocket when we target a modern browser ?
Good job GAE team!! However, can you also increase the size of Task Object to something that makes sense? 10kb of task object, I don't know what exactly I can store in there, like 2 integers?
With these critical enhancements and freshly released features, the application developers can address a whole new range of use cases. I believe the celebration time on GAE has just begun ahead of the Season !
Does Google have any strategy about making webapp framework official, i mean like Django, so that apps written using webapp can be deployed on ones own server?

ReplyDeleteSuper! Excellent new, guys. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFantastic news! Although, was hoping we could have configured the URL for /_ah/warmup
ReplyDeleteSad, no updates for mail API implementation. Lots of obvious bugs ...
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible! Can't wait to take the weekend to port our half-finished app to GAE.
ReplyDeleteI was skeptical at first, but now I'm convinced!
Cool, and when we can have the plan for "App engine for business"?
ReplyDeletethanks.
Awesome news :D Happy holidays to every one of you on the team. I think you guys have earned it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Awesome update and happy holidays to you too!
ReplyDeleteMan... this is awesome!
ReplyDeleteChannel API just went live! YEEEEEES.
ReplyDeleteAwesome :D
ReplyDeleteI've never been so exited about an SDK ;)
Great release but we want more! How about better support for JPA/JDO?
ReplyDeleteAwesome news, been waiting for some of these features for a long time. Great work GAE team, you're building a very viable service here. I believe platform-as-a-service is the next step after infrastructure-as-a-service.
ReplyDeletethank you for the awesome work guys and happy holidays to you too!
ReplyDeleteAlways on is the feature I need for my Apps - I will try it and if as good as I believe then I will produce a raft of App -> App Engine.
ReplyDelete(the slight delay in App Engine response worried me before)
:)
Channel is just a polling mechanism ;-(
ReplyDeleteWhy channel is not a real websocket ?
It's for compatibility issues ?
Because specs are not finnished ?
Is there a way to force websocket when we target a modern browser ?
Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am elated.
ReplyDeleteCould not figure out a way to use App Launcher with the 2 factor authentication enabled on my account. Had to disable it in order to upload my app.
ReplyDeleteAwesome news. Is there an ETA for the Eclipse plugin to be upgraded to GAE SDK 1.4?
ReplyDeleteGood job GAE team!! However, can you also increase the size of Task Object to something that makes sense? 10kb of task object, I don't know what exactly I can store in there, like 2 integers?
ReplyDeleteAlways On and the Channels API mean that App Engine finally becomes useful for my applications!
ReplyDeleteThis is great news , marks another evolutionary step for App Engine.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations !
Awesome! Love the new features!
ReplyDeleteLove the channel feature.. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAnd what about the compatibility of the Channel API with the dev server? Is it possible or will be possible in near future?
ReplyDeleteWow.. "Always On" the most awaited feature. Congrats GAE team and all GAE users :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome job, GAE team!! Great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the Channel API! I can finally build a web app that I have envisioned for a long time.
ReplyDeleteWith these critical enhancements and freshly released features, the application developers can address a whole new range of use cases. I believe the celebration time on GAE has just begun ahead of the Season !
ReplyDeleteGreat news!!!
ReplyDeletegreat job. !!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Always ON feature is THE feature I need for my critical application (related to alert mangment) ! This framework takes the good way !
ReplyDeleteThank you! Great release!
ReplyDeleteFantastic job.
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
Hello guys,
ReplyDeleteGood work here!
Does Google have any strategy about making webapp framework official, i mean like Django, so that apps written using webapp can be deployed on ones own server?
Channel API is cool, but the client API is only available for Javascript.
ReplyDeleteWould be great if you could provide a Java/Android version of the client (to easily create awesome multiplayer android games !)
