App Engine Review!

Part of the reason we utilize a platform like Google App Engine, or just App Engine, is to greatly reduce the resource needs for managing scalable web and application infrastructure. Rather than employ a large number of people responsible for the roll-out of infrastructure, developers can simply leverage App Engine to quickly and efficiently deploy and test their own code. As a result, very few internal resources are needed -- just a few folks with training in how App Engine's settings works is generally sufficient.

Our software team keeps up to date with Google App Engine and is ready to go to fix problems as they arise. The skills involved in supporting Google App Engine are essentially being able to keep up to date with the documentation and be familiar with the best practices and design concepts employed by Google for this service.
