I`ve started using GAE for its high performance. When I found out that it doesn't have all the features I needed (static ip for the app, custom ports), I figured I would need to find some proxy server with similarly high performance as a workaround. My app is still in early stages of development, so there is no problem in tailoring it for this solution.
What notable cloud-based proxy servers can you recommend for use with Google App Engine to complement what can't be done in GAE?
You can try running nginx on EC2. I looked for a while to see if a service like this existed, but I never found anything.
