GAE-Gaelyk - Groovy / Gaelyk / Google App Engine Base App

GAE-Gaelyk Base-App

Project-GAE is a multi-platform app-engine base-app created by Mark Finch to assist developers looking to build their first applications leveraging Google's Cloud Infrastructure. GAE-Gaelyk is adapted from GAE-Py project.

The GAE-Gaelyk version of Project-GAE uses the Groovy Language along with the Gaelyk Framework to provide a simple application base to launch new Google App Engine Applications from.

Features of version 1 include Ad-Sense integration, examples of how to use basic templates, access the datastore to create and read. Another goal of version 1 is to have a very simple application to benchmark various frameworks running on App Engine. The reason to keep it simple is to see how much a performance hit a framework has on App-Engine. GAE-Gaelyk is anticipated to perform the in the middle due to the extra weight of Java and Groovy libraries. We hope to answer how the Gaelyk framework performs on App Engine with version 1 of Project-GAE.

NOTE: Due to App Engine requirements version numbers will all be integers.
