I am just curious, how many people here on HN uses google app engine?

I use it for a couple of projects including my first major upcoming release.

I use it but only for personal projects, nothing commercial.

I don't understand Google.. they have best cloud infrastructure on web, and still their cloud products are s*it

It's unbelievable that Amazon is leader in cloud business and not Google

Google App Engine died for me long ago with their technology lock-ins and horrible pricing structures.
