app engine static files are dispatched by google cdn network for free. CloudFront is not free.

I think the OP is subverting the CDN functionality since the static assets are flowing through the golang code.

not flowing through, it is redirecting. The static files are really served by google cdn.

I don't think so. See his code:

    http.ServeFile(w, r, "static/"+r.URL.Path)
