Google App Engine
Google App Engine (often referred to as GAE or simply App Engine) is a platform as a service (PaaS) cloud computing platform for developing and hosting web applications in Google-managed data centers. Applications are sandboxed and run across multiple servers. App Engine offers automatic scaling for web applications—as the number of requests increases for an application, App Engine automatically allocates more resources for the web application to handle the additional demand.
Google App Engine is free up to a certain level of consumed resources. Fees are charged for additional storage, bandwidth, or instance hours required by the application. It was first released as a preview version in April 2008, and came out of preview in September 2011.
CONCLUSION
Flexibility: Java or Python APIs, no 'lock-in‘
Security: sandbox environment, rich APIs
Easy to Start: generous free quota
Easy to Scale: uses Google infrastructure
FUTURE: better performance, new features
