Hello World :)
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
from google.appengine.ext.webapp.util import run_wsgi_app

class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
self.response.out.write('Hello, webapp World!')

application = webapp.WSGIApplication(
[('/', MainPage)],
debug=True)

def main():
run_wsgi_app(application)

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
app.yaml
application: helloworld
version: 1
runtime: python
api_version: 1

handlers:
- url: /.*
script: helloworld.py
App Engine Datastore
● Scalable data storage for your applications
● Write once, read many

● Stores data entities with properties, organised by

application defined Kinds


● Queries on entities of same kind

● Filter and sort order on property values and keys

● Pre-Indexing
Entities and Models
● Datastore Entity = key + set(attributes)
● Models describe the kind of data an app uses

from google.appengine.ext import db


import datetime

class Person(db.Model):
name = db.StringProperty(required=True)
birthdate = db.DateProperty()
height = db.IntegerProperty()
is_admin = db.BooleanProperty(default=False)

ted = Person(key_name='person_ted',
name='Ted',
birthdate=datetime.datetime(1986,12,04),
height = 185)
db.put(ted)
Entity Groups, Ancestors and Path
● Entities residing in same part of the distributed
network
● Transactions

● Parent Child relationship

● Path and Key uniqueness


Fetching Entities
● GQL
● GqlQuery

● Query

● db.get()

all_teds = Person.gql(“WHERE name = :1”, “Ted”).fetch(100)

all_teds_1 = GqlQuery(“SELECT * FROM Person WHERE name = :1”,


“Ted”).fetch(100)

all_teds = Person.all().filter(“name = “, “Ted”).fetch(100)

specific_ted = Person.get_by_key_name('person_ted')

specific_teds_key = db.Key('Person', 'person_ted')


specfic_ted_1 = db.get(specific_ted_key)
Cache
● Memcache
● App Caching
Scalability Revisited
● Read and Write Infrequently
● Keys, Key Names, ID

● Batch Reads and Writes

● Small Entity Groups

● Sharding

● Memcache
Case Study
● Social apps and games from Oxylabs
