Hi,

I have a website project that would need the use of a good - yet affordable - CDN. My project is about storing, viewing and sharing videos. My needs are the following:

- multi TB of data storage (in the long run as content is uploaded by users)

- Analytics

- API (manipulate the site library, upload, etc... and access to analytics)

I did a quick search and found Limelight Network that covers all my needs and then some - they have an explicit solution for video distribution, but pricing is not available and I expect they are on the expensive side of things.

Do you know a CDN that fits the bill?

If you are using a CDN right now I would like to read about your experience.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am currently considering two options as a back-end to a CRUD type mobile application: App Engine and Heroku. While it is fairly easy to calculate the costs of the Heroku option, I do not have experience with App Engine so I don't really know what to expect if I get a decent number of hits per day. App Engine looks like the easiest option technically but is this worth having your data and app logic tied to Google's platform?

Have you used App Engine / Heroku lately? Any thoughts?

Thanks!
