Does Google App Engine use google CDN to distribute static resources?
cdn, google-app-engine
Solution
Yes, GAE uses google's infrastructure for static content.
Have a look at this session at Google IO 2009 and read slides 24-28.
The static content is handled by specialized infrastructure. App runtimes don't serve them.
Problem
I find a lot of articles on the web describing how GAE can be used as a CDN. But, I could not locate any mention about CDN in Google's documentation of App Engine. Can somebody please point me to some official document/article mentioning how applications developed on top of GAE benefit from Google CDN servers? Thanks in advance :)
