Google Starts App Engine To Aid Web Development

Washington (dbTechno) - Google has kicked off their App Engine web services for hosting as well as other web applications. The early preview group of 10,000 received a preview build of Google App Engine to try it out first.

Google App Engine launched during a Google coding event, Campfire One.

App Engine is Google’s attempt to try and help web application developers. It is described as “a developer tool that enables you to run your web applications on Google’s infrastructure.”

The 10,000 who were able to receive Google App Engine were taken on a first come, first serve basis.

Google stated that they will be able to try out many things such as fully-featured local development environments, Google APIs for authenticating users and sending e-mail, automatic scaling and load balancing, dymanic web serving, and persistant storage.

Google stated “During this preview period, applications are limited to 500MB of storage, 200M megacycles of CPU per day, and 10GB bandwith per day. We expect most applications will be able to serve around 5 million pageviews per month.”
