I am putting together a little site run on Google App Engine (python27 + django + webapp2). The objective of the site is to serve paid for video tutorials, much like lynda.com.
I'm trying to find the best (and cheapest) way of keeping the videos behind a paywall. In other words a customer is only able to view the videos on my site and if they've paid a subscription.
I've considered simply putting them on GAE, however the recent price increases have made me reluctant to do so and I was wondering if there were any other solutions available?
Cheers,
J
You need to authenticate users: implement your own login system or use OpenID (federated login).

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 have been working on a website with Google App Engine for the past few months and I haven't really had to worry about people adding new data or disrupting users when the site went down because I had very few users but I am now planning on rolling the website out to many people.
The site involves users posting topics and I generally when I am making changed on the site I need to have some database entries to work with. I was wondering what is the most professional and efficient way to develop a website while it is in production and not lose user data or downgrade the user experience all that much.
What would be ideal would be if I could split something like 10% of traffic off onto the new site that I am testing but I haven't found anything like this with GAE.
Have you seen traffic splitting? It allows you to send a percentage of your users to an alternative app version, E.g. testing.example.appspot.com

Please which payment api/toolkit is most suitable for Google app-engine platform. I found Google check-out SDK which seemed really nice but its not available for use in my country (US and UK only). I also found PayPal X toolkit which is very cool but it supports just PayPal card transactions. Are there any more suitable ones that can be widely used?
I'm using stripe on my app engine app. I was impressed by how easy it was to implement and its array of features.

Are there any real production quality sites running on appengine? I've looked around and am finding mostly small applications.
Could someone please point me to some that get a high amount of traffic?
Panoramio.com runs on App Engine, and I'm pretty sure it receives hundreds of thousands of hits daily as it serves the user images you see on Google Maps and Google Earth. Mind you, it was not originally developed in App Engine, it was eventually migrated there after the service got acquired by Google.

i am currently undergoing the branding of a place that is in the outskirts of a major city. the situation at hand is that the place is unknown and not easy to get around, so my associates and i have planned to develop a gps application with specifics eg safari lodges, conference venues of this area and make it possible for people to download it onto their smartphones (nokia,iphone and black berry) and be able to navigate their way around.
the issue is how much would it cost to develop such an application and run it?
need an answer ASAP. thanks a mil.
The answer to this question could be 1000$, but it could be 100.000$ as well. There are so many details to a project like this that must be taken into account that it is almost impossible to answer your question more precisely.
To give an example - consider details like (but not only):
who will supply the necessary content
does the content need to be updated on a regular basis -> CMS
should the app navigate the user around in turn-by-turn style or should it be more like an interactive map
These three details alone would make a huge difference. So, the best thing you can do is contact a company or a freelance developer, brief him precisely on the matter and see how much it'll cost you.
