Google App Engine

Google’s new landmark in the devsphere is Google’s App Engine.

App Engine web applications will:

  • Be reliable
  • withstand heavy loads
  • handle large amount of data

App Engine applications will be programmed in Python initially. But Google promises to provide support for more languages in future.

App Engine can be downloaded from Google App Engine Site.

According to me, App Engine will definitely bring more developers under Python Camp. Also, the blogosphere is flooded with people who say that App Engine will definitely expand Google’s Internet.
