I am new to GAE (cloud based development in general actually) and I am looking for some advice.
I am looking to use GAE only as a service (REST + JSON) with my client-side in Sproutcore. I am looking to find a light-weight service-based framework that will provide me with strong security (authentication, protection against XSS etc).
Java or Python is fine, the priority being speed and security.
Does anybody have any ideas on this? Any links to relevant information. I am going through an information overload phase. Any help in this regard would be much appreciated!
Thank you.
How about tipfy, a open source lightweight python-based framework made for GAE?
Its core can be enhanced through usage of extensions.
Combining some of those extensions
would allow you to perform auth
against different systems (Google,
Facebook, Twitter…) or against your
own baked one. An example of this can
be found here, source code is
available here.
A really simple sample of JSON
rendering is available here.
Of course, other python frameworks run on top of AppEngine. You’ll find in the AppEngine-Python google group, a thread discussing pros/cons of most of them.
Considering speed, those links may shed some light on the subject
