Forget about what you know on SQL...Forget about what you know on SQL...
No planned downtimes
(I haven't noticed unplanned ones too)
Scalability
100 records query performs the same when
searching in 100 records
as in 1 000 000 000 records
Query limitations

>, <, != conditions:
one field only
(who cares...)

No GROUP BY,
COUNT or SUM (again, who cares...)
No JOIN queries

>>> ses = Session(cookie=cookie, user=user)
>>> ses.put()
# next request:
>>> ses = GqlQuery(“SELECT * FROM Session WHERE cookie=:1”, cookie).get()
None # or <Session object> if lucky...
>>> ses = Session.all().filter('cookie', cookie).get()

>>> ses = Session.get_by_key_name(cookie)
<Session object> # for sure
Most likely won't hurt
If hurts:

Entity groups/ancestor queries

Primary key queries

Backup: The SandboxBackup: The Sandbox
An application cannot:
 Open a socket
 Access another host - except URL Fetch Service
 Respond slowly – 60 secs
 Write to the filesystem - reading is OK
 Run other programs
 Run binary (C) extensions – pure Python only
