Posted by Paul McDonald, App Engine TeamWhen we launched Google App Engine to 10,000 developers in early April, we were looking for feedback from the community. Since then, even though we've since expanded to 75,000 developers, the request we've heard most often has been to open up the preview release and give more people the chance to use it to deploy their apps to Google's scalable infrastructure.

Posted by Guido van Rossum, Software EngineerMy first project as a Google engineer was an internal web app for code review.
