In short, can any one shed any light or experiences of using tools like Google AppEngine, Force.com or any other 'Platform as a Service' toolsets for creating open data apps? How do they do it at the moment, is it mainly PHP web app type scripting?

I would also keep an eye on: http://www.eucalyptus.com/
