Google just issued a preview release of Google App Engine. Limited to the first 10,000 developers (sorry, waiting list), Google App Engine radically shortens the time from coding your web application to deployment.
Google App Engine was designed to be easy to use, easy to scale, and free to get started. It addresses some of the daunting issues web startups face, particularly hosting/storage, scalability, and maintenance. Currently available for Python only, the SDK seems to be comprehensible to “outsiders” as well.
To know more:
- Developing and deploying an application on Google App Engine (youtube)
- Google App Engine documentation
- App Gallery
Google’s vision for App Engine sounds like a dream come true for web startups. Then again, Amazon AWS has been pretty popular along with other grid services for web apps on the rise too. Implications?
