You guys may want to look at this as well: http://sae.sina.com.cn/ http://sae.sina.com.cn/ Sina App Engine - sort of like Google App Engine's take as a China clone, but it runs in PHP. This platform (Orchestra) takes another approach, liking managing the ec2 instances than like the app engines that even the instance thing is transparent from the developers. Guess there can be many debates on whether which ones are better approaches. Also thing to notices on SAE, for non-Chinese readers, SAE has built-in function constraints. That means it's more like GAE in a way that not all the core functions and libraries are available[1] which is obviously security and performance reasons. It would be interesting to see if any core functions be limited on orchestra.io as well.
