Cool, but there are similar projects out there. E.g. http://cdn-cloud.appspot.com/

Not sure that response times from app engine are that nippy compared to a 'proper' CDN.

What would be cool would automatically distributing images via google's image serving CDN. You can use the get_serving_url method in app engine to return a CDN enabled url for any image in the blobstore. Its super fast and allows dynamic image resizing.

pretty cool. might be worth making the uri a key_name to make the lookup faster:

I wrote something similar a while back to offload parts of legacy sites on Google App engine.

You should be using http://trafficserver.apache.org/ 80k req/sec (small objects)

Not a fan of the ginormous block comments. Why do people like these?

Another project to enable people to use GAE's generous free account without actually developing on GAE's platform:

http://github.com/viatropos/queuable

This one sends a request to Heroku as often as once a minute, to avoid paying for Heroku workers.

Cirruxcache has been around for a while, and works great: http://code.google.com/p/cirruxcache/
