We've made this monitoring tool at our company.
It's not in our line of business so we might as well opensource the tool, and maybe someone else likes it as well, maybe they'll contribute.
The tool runs on AppEngine, so there are so the are some paths in the appengine configuration, that might be a good idea to keep hidden. Unless someone else wants to start using our appengine qouta.
Is there a best practice for open-sourcing AppEngine applications?
Does anyone have any experience to share regarding opensourcing appengine sites?
You can get some ideas from excellent gae-init. The way its working in order to avoid exposing sensitive information, is moving it in a stand alone project, you can even use gae-init for that ;)
As part of the model is a Config class which holds all the information as it concerns the service and its dependencies. There are some default values there but it can also be easily customized from a web interface called admin. Have a look.

I'm in the process of setting up the development environment for a new web application, that will ultimately have a mobile component added. This is being built as a React Front-end Application that will use Google Cloud Functions for the back-end.
For source control, issue tracking, project management, I'll be using GitHub.
My question is, should I try to have a separate repository for the back-end Cloud Functions and one for the React-app front-end? Or Is it just easier to have a single application/repository and have the Google Functions live in the Functions folder?
When we add the mobile component, it will be a separate application/repository..but curious if there is any benefit to try and keep server cloud functions in their own repo?
The best practice is to separate concerns, which means having your react front-end application separate from your back-end cloud Functions.
The answer to this question is opinion-based prone.
In my opinion, I would strongly recommend anyone to not start a project using separate repositories unless there is a good reason to do so.
Separating concerns in folders within a repo should suffice. See this discussion for more background.

I'm currently building a Hybrid mobile app using ionicframework,angularjs and cordova,in my app i will need some data storage such as all users details.
What i'm trying to figure out is how to update the database for all users,for example if a new user signs up,he should be added to the database and everyone else should be able see his profile instantly,i'm thinking the database should be shared online instead of just updating the local database installed with the app,i'm currently using SQLite plugin to store such data but i'm not sure if it's the right choice for my case.
Does anyone know how to reach what i want ? i would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Too many users then no point in storing and syncing. Creates more data inconsistency issues and resource consumption.
Online is the way to go.
If there is a subset of users whom u want to store information then thats an option.
Like watsapp stores and syncs information of those who are on your contact or chats only and not the whole watsapp db.
Thank you guys,after a lot of research,few days ago i decided to use Firebase,it's really powerful and works perfectly with angularJS and ionicframework which i'm using to build my app. I would really recommend it in situations similar to mine.

I am looking to create an application for exchange rate of foreign currencies and need backend for the same. While searching for the same, i came across:
http://rate-exchange.appspot.com
http://rate-exchange.appspot.com/currency?from=USD&to=EUR&q=1 //working demo
I also find the github source for this GAE project at:
https://github.com/hippasus/ExchangeRates
Now the question I have how should I proceed. Shall I use this already deployed project named http://rate-exchange.appspot.com or deploy my own version. If I should deploy my own version then what will be steps.
Thanks in advance
Generally try to use existing code with permission and visibly give credit to avoid plagiarism. Developers who repeat work already done by others learn from the experience but risk wasting time unnecessarily. You learn from others by studying their code anyway.
You may after some experience with the other project think of ways to improve it. Liaise on Github with the original author about constructive collaboration. Sharing code is what makes free and open source software great.

I'm trying to figure out if http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.2.0/phonegap_storage_storage.md.html can handle versioning, conflicts, etc. similar to CouchDB's capabilities.
I'm building a mobile app wherein friends can share data. This data will be manipulated (add, edit, delete) when the app is online or offline. During offline operations, the data changes will be stored locally -- and then sync to a central database when it goes online (and everyone else will sync to that central database).
Obviously, there will be versioning, conflicts, etc. issues. CouchDB supposedly handles this well. However, I want to know if PhoneGap's storage is sufficient for my needs. Will it work or not?
sqlite has plenty of power for this kinda stuff, though even localstorage is pretty powerful unless you are manipulating data with heavy javascript. I say try localstorage first as it's very very easy to handle.

I have a large library of PDF ebooks, and I'm looking for a web app to host on my site to organize and sort a database of the files, as well as have the ability to annotate them by adding data like publisher, year published, keywords, authors, etc. I have a great hosting provider (WebFaction) with access to all sorts of frameworks, like Drupal, Django, Rails, Node, etc., as well as MySQL and Postgres servers, so the language and back-end aren't that important, although .NET is out.
I've searched all over and just can't seem to find anything that fits the bill, although it seems like someone ought to have open-sourced this before. I'm not interested in services like Mendeley (http://www.mendeley.com) or Scribd, but rather something I can host myself, both to overcome file size limits and privacy issues, but also so I can check out the source and modify it if needed.
You seem to need a document management system.
Check out OpenKM or Nuxeo
