Google App Engine
Cloud-based web application hosting service / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Google App Engine (also referred to as GAE or App Engine) is a cloud computing platform used as a service for developing and hosting of web applications. Applications are sandboxed and run across multiple Google-managed servers.[2] GAE supports automatic scaling for web applications, allocating more resources to the web application as the amount of requests increases.[3] It was released as a preview in April 2008, and launched officially in September 2011.
