haystack and google appengine

I developed an app in Django, mainly for educactional purposes, and I want to host it on GAE. The app uses MySql and Haystack/Whoosh. I'm following this django-nonrel guide, but I'm not sure if Haystack/Whoosh will work on the NoSQL from GAE. Any ideas?

Solution

  • It's possible to use Haystack on GAE, but you can't use whoosh as the search backend. Instead, you'll need to use a hosted Solr or ElasticSearch as a backend search server. Try searchbox.io, they tell you how to get it working with Haystack here.
