Polytechnicast - Moving Away from Google App Engine
In this episode of the Polytechnicast I share an overview of why I moved my comic to Google App Engine and how things evolved to considering moving away from that platform. I’m leaning toward moving to S3 or GitHub, using a static generated blog styled as a web comic approach. Then again, Tumblr is a pretty tempting option!
Along the way I give an overview of why I chose a cloud computing platform, my initial move from Wordpress and shared hosting.
I haven’t made my final choice, feel free to tweet, email, or comment your recommendations!
