Django -- I have a small app ready, Should I go on private VPS or Google App Engine?
I have my first app, not that big, but it is the first step. (next big one on the way)

Now if I want to put it on my own Linode VPS, I have to configure `mod_python or mod_wsgi,` as well as memcache, Ngix, mySQL or Postgresql, etc. to make it work. If I put it GAE, All I have to do is convert the models to use GAE's API.

What I like about GAE is scaling. (if they can really do it)

Then I'd only worry about developing my apps and doing SEO work on them instead of worrying about load share/balance, cache, db / IO redundancy, etc.

I don't want to do any porting later on. (I have to decide now and stick with it)

So, if you have any experience on this, what do you recommend:

    1- Use VPS(s) for everthing
    2- Use VPS(s) plus Amazon S3
    3- Use VPS(s) plus Amazon S3 & SimpleDB
    4- Use GAE


Also: Would I be able to get away with not having JOIN rights when using the BigTable?

Note: I don't have any spatial need now, but for a location table I might need that later on.

I'd like to know what do you think!
