Google App Engine

Google App Engine (often referred to as GAE or simply App Engine) is a platform as a service
(PaaS) cloud computing platform for developing and hosting web applications in Google-managed
data centers. Applications are sandboxed and run across multiple servers. App Engine offers
automatic scaling for web applications—as the number of requests increases for an application, App
Engine automatically allocates more resources for the web application to handle the additional
demand.
Google App Engine is free up to a certain level of consumed resources. Fees are charged for
additional storage, bandwidth, or instance hours required by the application. It was first released as
a preview version in April 2008, and came out of preview in September 2011.
