Using Google App Engine for static files

Question

I want to serve the static data for my website from Google App Engine.

How do I configure GAE to serve static content?

@ceejayoz Why? Google has clearly-stated limits on static, as well as dynamic file access. Using GAE as a static file-storage/caching solution doesn't go against their expectations. — Evan Plaice, Apr 13 '12 at 06:55

The documentation on how to get GAE to serve static content is here: Using Static Files.

It's rather simple, you just define a static directory in your app.yaml file.

handlers:
- url: /stylesheets
  static_dir: stylesheets

You want all files served as static so should use this:

handlers:
- url: /
  static_dir: /
