Source article

Google launched a new web-based platform called App Engine. It enables you to build web applications on the same scalable systems that power Google applications. Google App Engine provides a fully-integrated application environment.

According to Google the App Engine makes it easy to build an application that runs reliably, even under heavy load and with large amounts of data. The environment includes the following features:

dynamic web serving, with full support for common web technologies
persistent storage with queries, sorting and transactions
automatic scaling and load balancing
APIs for authenticating users and sending email using Google Accounts
a fully featured local development environment that simulates Google App Engine on your computer

Google App Engine allows most python web frameworks to be uploaded with your application. These web frameworks should need little or no modification to work with our system. For your conveniece, Django v0.96.1 is included with the Google App Engine SDK. Download the SDK.

Google App Engine applications are implemented using the Python programming language. The runtime environment includes the full Python language and most of the Python standard library.
