title: Alternative for Google AppEngine?
body: <p>I recently had to realize a project on Google AppEngine. At the beginning I was sceptic. But there a some really nice approaches on Appengine:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>No server setup. Everything works out of the box. Gzip, libraries, etc.</li>
  <li>One-Click-Deployment. Fire up GAE Launcher on the Mac and click DEPLOY. Done.</li>
  <li>Low costs</li>
  <li>Easy in-production-logging</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But there are some things I don't like if I'm thinking about professional projects</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The blobstore. It's just... weird. And non-backupable</li>
  <li>All the 1 MB restrictions</li>
  <li>The feeling that your code will only run on AppEngine. (BigTable)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Do you know any similar alternatives to AppEngine? And I don't mean services like EC2.</p>
