I wouldn't recommend app engine. It's not a portable API, it sucks at 
data crunching, and they can and will always increase the costs. That's 
even before we get to the ethics of it from an Open Data point of 
view...

AWS at least allows software to be developed more portably if you just 
use EC2.
