I'm not asking for this kind of developer-type support. I'm asking for
basic things like "something is broken on your side, could you,
please, have a look?" Have a look at AppEngine open issues - dozens of
new production issues opened over the last couple of days (Friday
evening to Sunday), and zero attention from Google. Compare this with
AWS forums - there is always somebody from Amazon online, answering
within an hour. Or compare this to RackSpace, where they have 24x7
live chat.
