Newbie using Google App Engine

Question

I've just started using Google App Engine and I have a few questions about it. I hope you can help me:

1. Once my Java web application is running on Google App Engine. What if one day I decide to run it on my own server. Which programs/services would I need? Is it difficult to configure?

2. I have a Javascript code that I would like to store on Google Application Engine, so that external webpages can run it directly. Is it possible? Otherwise could I deploy a Java application on Google App which returns this Javascript code? How could an external site ask on "execution time" for this code and run it?

THANKS!!

Answer 1

1. AppScale supports Java and allows users to deploy and host their own Google App Engine applications

2. Of course you can, although GAE is not meant to be used as a CDN .
   Have a look to Static Files and Resource Files documentation.

Answer 2

1. It depends on what services you actually use. Take a look at AppScale , it will facilitate running your application on your own servers. I would also suggest looking at TyphoonAE (Python only), to see another software 'stack' providing similar services.

2. See the section on static files and resources in the docs.
