I’ve chosen to use Rails on App Engine I think its’ definitely the future.
http://www.muhadib.com is one of the project’s I’ve put on app engine (using the twitter api).
it’s not alway smooth sailing especially when trying to use GEM that don’t support it.

The Guys at google and outside that are running this effort are amazing and i’m sure the Rails Community will eventually choose this as a default way to get a site up.

Very nice post. I have a couple clarifications:
- The JRuby Runtime and Rails can each take several seconds to spin-up,
but new instances hitting a simple Java servlet spin-up a second or so.
- The tools that setup the environment (populate WEB-INF) run under MRI,
but the local dev_appserver is always running your app using JRuby.
The JRuby Runtime is one of the jars in WEB-INF/lib.
