Ask HN: Do you think AppEngine is a stable platform and here to stay?
Looking at the discussion surrounding Google AppEngine it seems a major concern is the future of the platform, especially considering Google's recent axing of popular services. It seems to me that AppEngine has the potential to be more of a money maker than many of the services they cut, but I'm still a little hesitant to use it for new projects. What do you guys think? I don't know, and that uncertainty is what's making me shy away from App Engine. Google's business focus is advertising and I'm not sure how my app plays into their model. Nope. Google can't really be trusted.
