A preview release of Google App Engine, a way for developers to run their web applications on Google's infrastructure, has been launched. In the same way that Blogger made it easy to create a blog, Google App Engine is designed from the ground up to make it easy to create and run web applications.
With Google App Engine, developers can write web applications based on the same building blocks that Google uses, like GFS and Bigtable. Google App Engine packages those building blocks and provides access to scalable infrastructure that we hope will make it easier for developers to scale their applications automatically as they grow. This means they can spend less time dealing with system administration and maintenance, and more time building and improving their applications.
Google App Engine is free to use during the preview release, but the amount of computing resources any app can use is limited. In the future, developers will be able to purchase additional computing resources as needed, but Google App Engine will always be free to get started.
This launch is a preview release. This preview of Google App Engine is available for the first 10,000 developers who sign up; that number will be increased in near future. So, developers can sign up, download the SDK, and start your engines.
