- Google AppEngine for Java is released.
Google AppEngine for Java provides persistence to their BigTable datastore using
DataNucleus, via a new DataNucleus plugin (written by Google with assistance from
DataNucleus). AppEngine provides access to both JDO and JPA APIs allowing developers
to port across their existing data access layer.
You can read more on this here.
"Congratulations to Google on realising the power and potential of the DataNucleus
architecture. This is a major demonstration of the structure we spent the last several
years putting in place. In this case Google are leveraging it to provide persistence
to cloud-based applications, providing cloud users with the power of both JDO and JPA,
hence avoiding accusations of lock in to proprietary APIs. Not only do Google
provide access to both APIs but in this release they are actually pushing the
JDO API, as a further demonstration that the JDO API, whilst maintaining
its superiority via Apache JDO,
is very much alive and kicking."
"We wish them well in their new direction and look forward to future collaboration to
further extend and improve the DataNucleus product offering."
- Andy Jefferson (DataNucleus).
