JRuby on Google App Engine

Google has just released an early look at Google App Engine for Java! Now JRuby developers can use the Rails, Merb or other Rack-based frameworks to deploy easily portable applications to Google’s highly scalable infrastructure. In this talk, we will provide an overview of App Engine for Java, with attention to current features (and issues). We will also show a few demos, including deployment to the production environment, and provide some insight into (and best practices for) using the App Engine Datastore.
This presentation will include the following topics:
- Simple setup and configuration with reggae and jruby-enginize
- Using gemlets to improve startup time
- Using appengine-tools for automated servlet configuration
- Working with DataStore via dm-appengine and bumble
- Overview of appengine-apis

Comments
John, thanks for helping me understand options for ActiveRecord for Rails and the CD. I appreciate you reaching out and getting me started.
Once you have JRuby installed locally, these links will show you how to generate and deploy apps.
Rails on App Engine: jruby-rack.appspot.com
Merb and Sinatra on App Engine: github.com/ulbrich/jruby-en...
I was expecting to learn how to install JRuby, possibly Rails on Google App Engine. Instead, the talk covered benefits of Google App Engine and Persistence. I can’t understand how presenters missed the title of the talk.
