GAE-Sinatra - Ruby / Sinatra / Google App Engine Base App

GAE-Sinatra 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-Sinatra is adapted from GAE-Py base app.

The GAE-Sinatra version of Project-GAE uses the Ruby Language along with the Sinatra 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-Sinatra running on the App-Engine Java using JRuby will likely perform in the middle as it has the Java/JRuby overhead. That is the question we hope is answered with version 1 of Project-GAE.

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