Google App Engine by Colin Devroe

Google App Engine

Just released with only a limited number of applications being accepted at the moment:

“Google App Engine enables developers to build web applications on the same scalable systems that power our own applications.”

Interesting tidbits upon first glance:

Uses the Python programming language.
500Mb and ~5,000,000 for free!
Sandbox: In other words, if someone’s applications crashes, yours doesn’t.
Can use Google Apps for user signup.
The SDK includes an App Engine emulator.

Looks like interesting things, like massively popular Web applications that should scale perfectly and inexpensively, are coming soon.
