" summary

Google App Engine runs HTTP-driven web apps on Google hardware with a free tier and hard limits: 1 megabyte limit per request/item, 10 seconds per request with ~300ms CPU encouraged, ~10ms datastore RPC and <1ms memcache. The platform forbids writable files, raw sockets, subprocesses and C extensions for sandboxing, and uses a nonrelational datastore (no SQL joins), so Django’s ORM and admin don’t work natively; developers bundle Django 1.0 or use App Engine’s template fork (Django 0.96). Demo deploys a working “shout” app, datastore viewer and interactive console; billing, large file APIs and batch jobs are planned.
