I just want to say WOW, this is amazing. I have long grumbled here that backends, in their current form, are pretty useless. But this could change that completely.
I also want to say that ever since Google announced Compute Engine and started focusing on it at I/O, I've had the lingering fear that this represents a reduced commitment to GAE within Google. Hearing about tighter integration like this really gets me excited for the future of GAE.
