I like App-Engine and now that there are open-source, API compatible alternatives, there is no lock-in to worry about either. The biggest drawback for App Engine is lack of async support. The only ways to scale are: multiple-threads (slow) or multiple instances (costly).

Or you can use Go and get high performance concurrency in a single-threaded instance. The best of both worlds. ;-)

Can you explain this a bit more? Specifically what async type tasks can you not perform?
