</P><P>Tonight at their second CampFireOne <A href="http://Google.com">Google Code</A> is announcing <A href="http://appengine.google.com/">App Engine</A>, a hosted platform for web developers. The actual service will launch later tonight in a closed Beta. 10,000 developers will be granted access on a first come, first serve basis.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/04/app-engine-host-your-python-apps-with-google.html#comment-2040272">App Engine on the other hand is almost literally an engine for powering web applications. It bundles together many of the features that AWS offers into a singular package: storage like S3, auto-scaling and processing power like EC2, and a datastore like SimpleDB. App Engine also offers things that are not available on AWS like a Python runtime, Google-specific APIs and perhaps most notably a free portion of the service. App Engine is more like other web application platform services like <A href="http://www.bungeelabs.com/">Bungee Labs</A> (similar but with its own language), <A href="http://heroku.com/">Heroku</A> (which supports Rails), or the now-defunct Zimki (which supported server-side JavaScript; <A href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2006/09/zimki-hosted-javascript-enviro.html">Radar post</A>).</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/363094A9-D5C5-4A20-8509-A94B6BB289B5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
