Site Update
I’ve pushed out some small updates to the site, plus some larger technical changes.
My first change was to move from web.py to Flask. The main reason for this was to make use of Flask FlatPages to store my posts (rather than a DB). Being that this is a small and simple site, it made my life easier to just store site data in a flat file rather than in a database.
The second change was to migrate off of Google AppEngine. My experiences with AppEngine were OK. Availability was good, response time was OK, except for on initial requests; these could take 10 - 15 seconds while AppEngine would spin up my site. All-in-all, not a big deal for my site though.
My main rationale for switching was to try out AppFog, which seems to support a more standard development and deployment scenario.
As always, hope you are enjoying the site.
