It is hilarious to me to read an analyst report that ignores App Engine (or even Heroku! Or is that what they meant by "Salesforce"?) in the PaaS space. Snapchat is primarily an App Engine (plus Datastore) customer. They have more daily active users than Twitter. Unless Beanstalk is way bigger than I think it is, App Engine has the lion's share of the PaaS market. We're all tight lipped on purpose. People guessing from the outside will basically be wrong until results become public (I applaud the folks at AWS for breaking out their segment publicly; you may have noticed how much their stock spiked when they did so as analyst consensus was way off). Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud, but not specifically on App Engine.
