For instance, doing a simple JOIN of data. After figuring out how to do it myself, I put up a tutorial on my blog to demonstrate the equivalent of a one-to-many JOIN using the Datastore. http://blog.arbingersys.com/2008/04/google-app-engine-one-to-many-join.html This is what I think the GAE Docs should have a lot more of.

Too bad their db api are very very limited compared to a normal relational database. You can also run a high level web framework like web2py on the appengine here is a video.

I have been feeling the pain of scaling as well lately and it's only getting worse. I am tied to PHP currently but S3 has already helped a lot, and EC2 soon but, I am exited to see how much more GAE will go. Python is starting to look better that's for sure. Good luck with your projects! Great writeup Alex. I have been feeling the pain of scaling as well lately and it’s only getting worse.
