Google App Engine
April 19th, 2008 by joby
Last week Google released “App Engine” which allows outside developers to develop applications to run on the Google infrastructure. I’ve downloaded the SDK and played around with some simple stuff, but it is quite cool. My only issue is that most of my current applications rely on the relations in a relational database so the datastore seems too primitive — but it is incredibly easy to develop a useful personal application. The video demonstration is quite accessible and quickly highlights the ease and power of the environment.
