NYCPHP Meetup

[Konstantin K]

I looked into using Google Apps Engine:

1. It's pretty fast!
2. The "free quotas" are pretty big, EXCEPT for the outgoing bandwith
(only 1GB/day = 30GB/month)
3. It's pretty simple to set it up.
4. It's very hard to automate versioning of static data - with a CDN,
it can pull the latest data from the origin server.

I will try out simplecdn, and let you guys know how it works when I launch.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Konstantin
