Google App Engine Lets Your Web App Grow Up - O'Reilly Radar

By Brady Forrest

Google released App Engine less than a year ago. It was the first chance for external developers to use the power of Google's servers. The powerful platform supported Python and was free (within limits). It now supports 45,000 apps and those apps get over 100 million page views per day.
