Question

Online shopping

Hello! The question is actually this: are there any tutorial videos on how to create an online store on Google App Engine? (preferably in Russian). The customer asks to make him an online store on Google App Engine, is this even possible? Is it difficult? Does it make sense?

Answer 1

- No, I have never seen a GAE video in Russian.
- Yes, it is possible to create an online store on GAE.
- Yes, it is difficult at the beginning if you have never worked with GAE/Datastore.
- Yes, it makes sense if there is a desire to learn something new and there is enough time, otherwise it does not.
In principle, there are ready-made e-commerce platforms for Python that will earn money on GAE with a couple of kicks, especially if CloudSQL (Mysql) is used instead of NDB (Datastore). I don’t know about other languages, but questions about all sorts of Magento / PHP often slip through SO, so I’m sure that you can find something ready for improvement for them.

Answer 2

There is no training video on creating an online store, especially in Russian.
It is possible to make an online store on GAE (more than one has already been done), and for stores with a large number of goods (from 1-2 thousand), it can even be a more profitable solution if everything is done correctly.
Of the advantages of GAE Datastore, the same speed of work with any number of records, i.e. the speed of searching for 100 records or 1 billion is the same - getting a record from the storage by key - 15-20ms, searching for records (Query) 90ms + time to get each record from the query (15-20ms).
Here are the statistics: https://code.google.com/status/appengine/detail/hr...
The main difficulties when working with Datatstore:
- minimize the number of requests when generating a page, to increase the speed of work
- use indexes only where necessary, to reduce the cost of storage
If the store implies a large assortment of goods with characteristics and selection by characteristics, then it is better to use Search to search for these goods and create a search index for each category of goods.
If functionality like "They also buy with this product" or "Popular products in the section" is required, then it cannot be implemented by ordinary queries, as in SQL. For example, you need to recalculate the sales crown and create separately such hints for each section or product.
