Google App Engine: a new version and a preview of future plans

Google App Engine, a platform for developing and hosting applications on Google's infrastructure, is set to graduate from its preview status in the second half of 2011, signaling a long-term commitment from Google and the introduction of enterprise-grade features to support business applications. As part of this transition, Google has released App Engine 1.5.0, which includes new capabilities such as Backends for Python and Java, enhanced Task Queues, and an experimental runtime for the Go Programming Language, enabling support for applications requiring long-running processes and high memory usage. This update expands App Engine's compatibility with other cloud services through new REST-based APIs and introduces a new pricing structure with usage-based transparency, alongside a 99.95% uptime service level agreement and additional business-oriented support features. These developments aim to align App Engine's offerings with the broader needs of businesses while maintaining an open development platform, reflecting Google's appreciation for the feedback received from its user community since the platform's inception.
