I'm working on a codebase that we recently ported from GAE to AWS. We ran into lots of issues with GAE, mainly around: * Exorbitant cost * Obtuse ORM * Random, unannounced/poorly reported downtime I'm happy to elaborate, but I would stay as far away as possible from GAE. Our experience was terrible. I should note as a disclaimer that we did not use the high availability version.
