Cirruxcache has been around for a while, and works great: http://code.google.com/p/cirruxcache/

Cool, but there are similar projects out there. E.g. http://cdn-cloud.appspot.com/

Not sure that response times from app engine are that nippy compared to a 'proper' CDN.

What would be cool would automatically distributing images via google's image serving CDN. You can use the get_serving_url method in app engine to return a CDN enabled url for any image in the blobstore. Its super fast and allows dynamic image resizing.

Another project to enable people to use GAE's generous free account without actually developing on GAE's platform:

This one sends a request to Heroku as often as once a minute, to avoid paying for Heroku workers.

pretty cool. might be worth making the uri a key_name to make the lookup faster:

discussion on efficiency difference of get vs fetch:

I wrote something similar a while back to offload parts of legacy sites on Google App engine.

You should be using http://trafficserver.apache.org/ 80k req/sec (small objects)

Not a fan of the ginormous block comments. Why do people like these?
