I use GAE + Github for several of my tiny websites. I don't use DryDrop as I hadn't heard of it, and I like being able to control the app.yaml myself (particularly useful for when I have a sudden urge to port static sites over to Django, which happens surprisingly often). Also, it looks like DryDrop may actually use script handlers instead of static file handlers, which wouldn't be as performant for my simple stuff.<p>The trickiest part of using GAE for static files is setting up the app.yaml, since it's different from just FTPing files and having them show up on your server. Here's an example app.yaml for a completely static site, where the root redirects to index.html, and the rest is mapped to a static directory (with nested directories in it):
