I just learned about Google App Engine, and I must say it is fantastic.
But, based on the nature of Google app engine, is it possible to design an e-commerce website using Google App Engine? I mean, based on the huge cloud server platform provided by Google App Engine, we have a built-in content delivery network. But, should it be that way?

    is it possible to design an e-commerce website using Google App Engine?

    If you want to develop such a website then why not go for more portable alternative? For example, develop your e-commerce website on web2py or django. Both can be hosted on GAE (in case of web2py it just needs minor modifications). GAE imposes a lot of restrictions, but you can stop worrying about system administration and scaling as GAE takes care of it.

    If you want to focus on developing an e-commerce website rather than on learning development specifically for GAE then I suggest you use web2py, because porting is very easy.

    I have tested it myself, you can check it if you like: http://memstats-w2py.appspot.com/
