Google launches Amazon like web services for FREE

http://code.google.com/appengine/

This is really awesome.





I am big fan of Amazon Web services but after looking at this from google, I am quite amazed about how the Web 2.0 is reframing the development methodology and internet usage. Google is a very much internet company who already have a server farmhouse to handle various google services. I believe that google has more experience on doing these stuff then Amazon.

Well now I am more excited to see what Microsoft come up with to answer google and Amazon web services.

"Google App Engine lets you run your web applications on Google's infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain: You just upload your application, and it's ready to serve your users.

You can serve your app using a free domain name on the appspot.com domain, or use Google Apps to serve it from your own domain. You can share your application with the world, or limit access to members of your organization.

App Engine costs nothing to get started. Sign up for a free account, and you can develop and publish your application for the world to see, at no charge and with no obligation. A free account can use up to 500MB of persistent storage and enough CPU and bandwidth for about 5 million page views a month."
