I have created a web game using Java and HTML5 on GAE after getting familiar with the platform with smaller projects. I worked through some kinks in the early days when I was trying to stay under the free quota and eventually opening up billing and doing a little more cost-focused optimizations. I watch the trajectory of this project (http://graph-wars.appspot.com) and keep thinking what a great leg up on focusing on features I get with this system. I think Java support is pretty stable, thanks Google. Opening things up to other Cloud Services was not as smooth (felt rougher around the edges), but still overall a positive experience.
The recent announcement around mail support is very disappointing though. This will be the first time I'm seeing my application suffer from Google's breaking changes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
