If I for some reason wanted to use my own private server to run my GAE app instead of deploying it to Google servers, could I simply use AppEngine SDK to do that? Are there any technical or legal limitations or problems that I should know about? I know that the SDK isn’t designed to run heavy pages but for small websites it should work right?
Well, you could try. I’m not aware of any legal issues (with the caveat that I Am Not A Lawyer, and can’t offer to interpret the license agreement for you), but I doubt you’d be happy with performance.
For one, the dev_appserver Datastore emulation (in both the Python and Java SDKs) doesn’t scale all that well once you’re past small amounts of data. It’s not designed for performance; it’s designed to accurately mimic the semantics of the real Datastore.
