I just wanted to say that anything can happen to any product. Per our terms of service, we will maintain App Engine for 3 years after any announcement. You're betting that Google will be around for many years and will have the finances to support App Engine. If you ask me, this is a good bet. We're investing a lot in more products, but we also have BILLIONS of dollars in cash:
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2010/07/19/googles-30-billion-question.aspx My feeling is that App Engine is not going anywhere. We are using App Engine extensively both internally and externally, and there are many companies that are building entire businesses on App Engine. During our last IRC office hours, one company that was only 12 people has grown to employ over 100 people! As long as people are building real businesses on App Engine, the chances that we'll be unhappy with how it's doing and phase it out are near zero. There are a ton of things you can do to help App Engine: build apps. Participate in these discussions. Contribute to open source projects. Write about App Engine. Tell your friends about App Engine. Sell apps to people and sell App Engine consulting. We want you guys to be able to use App Engine for quick apps and prototyping, but we also want you to use App Engine to build your livelihoods.
