The Revolution of the Google App Engine

As they have done before, Google are revolutionizing the way we deal with the Web. For developers like myself, they have created a whole new scheme of things to come. Google has announced Google App Engine which provides developers with a means of instantaneous web publishing. You can create a website through Python (the first supported language) and using the SDKs provided test it and debug it and then publish it within minutes.
This will revolutionize web dev. I think this is damn innovative stuff...



"Google App Engine lets you run your web applications on Google's infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain: You just upload your application, and it's ready to serve your users.

You can serve your app using a free domain name on the appspot.com domain, or use Google Apps to serve it from your own domain. You can share your application with the world, or limit access to members of your organization."


App Engine is free!!! You get 500MB of storage and enough CPU power and bandwidth for about 5,000,000 page views a month

Simply beautiful...

I tried to get the preview release but it was only being given to the first 10,000 developers to register. I was obviously too late.

The SDK is available for download...so anyone interested go ahead! There is also documentation. But there is still no space to register for publishing on the production environment...

Soon...my friends...soon :D
