Hey guys,

I came across Google's new App Engine today and thought I'd share it with everyone.

The basic idea is that you can develop an application and then publish it on Google's App Engine for free, essentially using Google's underlying technologies like their GFS file system and their BigTable DB system. I'm sure there will be a fee for those applications that exceed certain limits in the future or course.

After watching the videos I'm extremely impressed by what Google has done. They've made it extremely easy to develop, deploy and manage a web app without the usual arduous tasks like server tuning or db management. Plus, it scales automatically depending on your application.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of not being able to control my data and files as I wish, and I have a feeling there will be some opposition to this fact in general. I'm definitely going to give it a shot... as soon as they let me in!

Here's the link...
