- tiziano88 13y agoWhat's wrong with GAE? Honest question, I was considering deploying my next project there
- kevando 13y agoIt's great. I use it mostly for small projects and weird prototyping ideas (http://wookietranslator.com http://wookietranslator.com). It does take a while to configure and get going (unlike Heroku) but Google has good documentation for Python.
- ma2rten 13y agoNothing, but there was a steep price increase when App Engine went "out of beta". This upset some people. Especially because there is a lock-in effect if you build on top of App Engine's proprietary APIs.
- rbanffy 13y ago> there is a lock-in effect if you build on top of App Engine's proprietary APIs. No. There hasn't been for quite some time. http://www.appscale.com/ http://www.appscale.com/ provides hosting services on top of an open-source codebase you can (with some effort) deploy on your own.

- rz2k 13y agoTake a look at the issues page for many of the top requests[1] as well as the included libraries for Python.[2] There are requests for python3 support, but also for pandas, scipy, etc. GCE should be more flexible since it is providing infrastructure rather than the platform. However, depending on your project getting an entire platform from Google first could save you effort.
