I think Google's stance has been quite clear after all the posts from Google's employees: GAE is now targeting enterprise only, i.e. companies that have plenty of money to spend on hosting web apps without the need to make money through itself, because their main revenue stream is from else where. (tell me how royal-wedding-bells-in-cloud can make a turnover from its insane cost)
If you are a startup or companies that are planning to make a business by hosting an your applications on GAE, you are doing it WRONG. But then I wonder, which company is so stupid that having so much money to spend on hosting web apps on GAE, but dont bother to spend a tiny portion of it to hire a system admin to host applications on AWS given that it is: - not locked in - you are having all the controls - you can use whatever you want - you can do whatever you like (socket on GAE? long polling? event based server? push notification to iOS?) - you know the price will only go down by time - its a much larger community -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
