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.

Which do you think is easier for a beginner who lacks of knowledge of setting up a server?
Or, in other words: if I want to start a website, is learning the infrastructure of Google App Engine or learning the normal way to host a website easier?
I have spent some time learning Django, Python, AngularJS and Google App Engine.
AppEngine is PaaS - you can host there your apps. So you do not have to deal with the servlet container, datastore, cron jobs, scaling etc.
Compute Engine is Google's IaaS - you get a VM and you can do with it whatever you like.
Basically these 2 are completely 2 different things, for different use cases. What do you have? an app? or do you need to install other things on the machine? After you come up with answers to this, you will have the answer...

Has anybody experience with the these services and would like to share some Information ....
Everything is welcome!
Since you've used the word "small" 3 times, I will venture to say that, in my opinion, GAE is the best fit. Small apps remain inside the free quota on GAE, and you can't beat $0 a far as price goes. Also, GAE handles more of the messy, time-consuming backend tasks. I doubt you want to spend much time maintaining or setting up a "small" app, so having to deal with fewer of these tasks is beneficial. I have some small apps on GAE which I have not even touched for a couple of years. Time is money.

There is a lot of infomation scattered throughout the internet regarding this issue.
Can anyone give me an overview about clojure web app deployment? The differences between deployment in a standalone server vs a containerless aproach? The advantages and disadvantages among the different players such as Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk (EB), Heroku, Google App Engine, etc? Support for maven and lein?
Thanks!

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

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
