[...] it’s time for me to go back to my Google App Engine backup solution, which broke after Google introduced artificial limits on query offsets, and update it to use [...]

Is this a dead project? I noticed the last update time is August this year …

Aral,

Any idea when this will be ready for others? I could *really* use it to do some testing in my local environment using live data! Thanks for the time + effort!

I had read your post on the Google group, and I was pretty skeptical, but this looks *really* good! Nice work–I look forward to playing around with this.

That’s very cool Aral. Congrats.

Did you take try approaches other than serializing into a .py file. Perhaps into pickles that are zipped and sliced. You dump them into memcache, and later retrieve from memcache, unzip, unpickle and store into local….

I’m not sure if that’s gonna work, just throwing ideas :)

Very nice Aral. I’ll want to use that.

I have a question about building Singularity on GAE: are you at all concerned you might hit your account limits? Considering this is a commercial application, and HOPEFULLY you’ll get tons of traffic and stuff going on for Singularity, it would be quite bad if you hit those limits and users couldn’t participate in the conference or see the information. How do you keep within your limits?

The reason I ask is because I’d like to host a commercial app on GAE, but ensure I stay under the limits or be able to buy more resources by the time I exceed the free limits.

Thanks for any feedback!
