Update to django-ae-utils
I’ve been hanging out at the NYC App Engine Hackathon today and I’ve had some time to work on django-ae-utils. Accordingly I’ve just posted an update to django-ae-utils. This update includes a User model which uses the App Engine datastore as a backend, as well as a few generic views for working with the model.
Check it out at Google Code!
Do you see any value in creating a backend using GAE memcache? It has some minor limitations, it will store data for 1 month if you specify the timeout, otherwise will just hold it until memory is full.
Maybe a hybrid using memcache on top of datastore for speed and long term flexibility?
Have you been able to tell if your datastore based backend performs well? Does it take advantage of django built in cache?
Thanks!
