A useful article for people to read before using AppEngine. I only use AppEngine for my own projects, so far no jobs for customers.
I was aware of most of the limitations of AppEngine that the author of the article mentions after just a few hours of experimenting with AppEngine. Now, AppEngine now no longer gives me many problems.
I think the lesson is to do a lot of experiments before committing to technologies.
I don't use the Python SDK. Most of what I have done has been using Java (but with small Clojure and JRuby experiments). One thing that helped was to start using Objectify instead of JDO (as an example).
