Google App Engine In-depth Article
The Register has a great article on Google App Engine, Google’s scalable Platform-as-a-Service that will be removing the beta label later this year. App Engine is built upon BigTable, Google’s proprietary Column Family NoSQL data store. I’ve create several apps on Google App Engine, including http://www.mattmakai.com/ and http://scholarmaker.com/. Once you get past the standard Column Family data store quirks and understand the App Engine API (I used the Python version), it’s very easy to deploy an app and have it ready to scale to potentially millions of visitors.
