With the kind of data you are gathering you could be the first to generate a meaningful social aware index for AppStore at first…. the rest of the world later

GAE is indeed OK. It has thus far proved a perfect match for AGON Online and saves us from worrying about hardware infrastructure, inter-server and inter-process communication. Clearly there are tools to solve these problems “manually” but our focus is to create the best social gaming platform for handheld devices.

It is correct that GAE is not free when you start generating a lot of traffic, which we hope AGON Online will do very soon. Paying for the GAE quotas are part of our business plan.

Authentication is done using industry standards. AGON Online users are not required to have a Google Account. Developers using the AGON Online SDK are required to have a Google Account for registering and managing their applications’ AGON Online settings. I am sure Google takes great care of keeping the credentials of Google Accounts safe.

We are aware that the SSL request quotas are lower than normal unencrypted requests, but this will not be a problem for AGON Online, since SSL is not used a lot. I, for obvious reasons, cannot tell you exactly how we are going to prevent cheating on the blog, but I will say that SSL is not part of the mechanism.

If you would like more concrete details about your specific questions you are welcome to send an email to developer@agon-online.com.

GAE is OK. If you are providing a free service, how do you plan to pay for GAE quota overages? GAE quotas are NOT scalable if you plan on paying nothing for the GAE service.

How are you handling authentication? Do your users require Google Accounts? Do your developers require them? If so, how are you planning on keeping credentials secure?

How are you planning on encrypting traffic since SSL quotas for GAE are low. How are you otherwise going to prevent cheating?
