I'm trying to use the MaxMind City Database, which is circa 36MB in size, in Google App Engine. Unfortunately GAE allows for a max file size of 32MB and the MaxMind API won't work when the file is stored on Google Storage.
Anyone figured a way. So far my only workaround is to load the "legacy" database, with the legacy API, which is only 27MB. Works fine, but I wonder what will happen if I ever have to rely on the main one...
Similar question, still unanswered: Maxmind database file too large for AppEngine App
thanks
Use the lite version. ;) -- Looking at my GeoLiteCity.dat and it's only 18.7MB right now. It might not be ideal for you but for my the lite version gets the job done... for free.
