Abstract:
AppScale provides an easy way to distribute applications using the Google App Engine SDK on different infrastructure platforms, e.g. in a private cloud. In this paper, we provide a performance evaluation comparing a benchmark application hosted at the original Google App Engine (GAE) and by means of AppScale at Amazon EC2, at Google Compute Engine (GCE) and on a private on-premise cluster. The benchmark results show that GAE scales best for our use case, closely followed by AppScale cloud deployments. Thus, AppScale provides a dependable alternative for auto-scaling applications built according to the GAE SDK without the need to host the application at Google's infrastructure.
