What popular paid service has Google terminated? Any?
We built our recommendation engine for Recent News (https://recent.io/ https://recent.io/) on Google App Engine in Python. There was some tricky engineering involved in making sure that it would work inside that particular environment, but it's paid off in terms of scalability. We're not worried about Google shutting down App Engine; in fact it's being continuously improved.

- declan 11y agoI never used Google Maps Engine myself, so I'm not really familiar with it. But it looks like Google was trying to consolidate and improve its paid maps offerings, not discontinue them: http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2015/01/google-maps-engine-deprecated.html http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2015/01/google-maps-... The move should be seen as Google transitioning customers to already existing alternative products, especially Google My Maps (formerly Maps Engine Lite) which has come of age and now has most of the important features of Google Maps Engine A better example would be if Google were to discontinue its paid Google Maps API?
