Portable Google App Engine SDK for Python

Portable Google App Engine SDK for Python is a tool that let you run your web applications on Google's infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain: You just upload your application, and it's ready to serve your users.

The program is particularly useful if you are working with relatively large Software Development Kits, such as the ones compiled in Java, for instance. Not only does the engine enables you to run and analyze potential issues with your program, but it can serve as a simulation on your local machine as well. The reason for this is that for every Google Engine API it includes a stub that you can develop against.

A further reason why you may want to use Google Engine is when you are working on complex utilities that require a similarly advanced infrastructure, like a PaaS or Platform as a Service, for example. The main advantage, in this case, is that your team can interact with a clean and simple API and you do not need to bother with loading instancers or balancers at all.
