Google limits you to using their own key/value store instead of a regular, relational DB. This makes it hard to migrate to and from GAE, so there's a fair bit of vendor lock-in.
A Heroku app can run anywhere else, out of the box.

- blasdel 16y agoBigTable is not a motherfucking key/value store. It's a sorted tuplestore with built-in multidimensionality. Hypertable is a direct clone, HBase and Cassandra use the same style of API but have slightly different storage backends. Just because it isn't a SQL database doesn't mean it's non-relational or key/value.
