Posted by Taliver Heath, Platform Engineer At Google, we host a large number of "tech talks". These talks cover a wide rage of Computer Science topics like research in machine learning and methods for ranking images based on text queries. I've enjoyed attending these tech talks, but as the number of attendees has grown over time, the question-and-answer part of the talks hasn't been able to scale. There was never enough time for all the ...

A couple datastore updates (8)

by The App Engine Team (34) on

Google App Engine Blog (36) 1 month, 2 weeks ago permalink

We've updated other parts of the system before, so it's time for the datastore to ante up with its own improvements. There may not be any big surprises, but we still hope you'll enjoy the new features we've included! First up is batch writes. You can now include entities in different entity groups in a single db.put() or db.delete() call. Entity modifications are only atomic within each entity group, but a single call that spans ...

Take it with you, the whole kit-and-caboodle (19)

by The App Engine Team (34) on

Google App Engine Blog (36) 1 month, 3 weeks ago permalink

Posted by Jeff Scudder, Google App Engine Team One of my favorite things about the SDK is the fact that it works offline. When I'm without Internet access on a train, bus, or plane, I can still develop and test my application. I usually work with my browser open, one tab pointed squarely at localhost:8080 and another open to the App Engine documentation. Until recently, the documentation presented a bit of a challenge when I ...
