Java / Python SDKs 1.3.4 was released, and GAE for business was announced

First I will talk about the changes in SDKs, and then about what is AppEngie for business.



So,

- New API: OAuth . Now you can use the application as a provider (obviously, for the Apps Marketplace)

- OpenID support.

- Blobstore is no longer an experimental API (it’s a pity that they didn’t enter direct downloads, prices for AppEngine are cheaper than for the new WebStore). The maximum file size is 2GB, against 50MB, which was before.

')

For Python SDK:

- Added automatic execution of tasks on the local SDK.

- New bulkloader with wizard for import / export data



For Java SDK:

- Full support for javax.el. *

- Java 1.5 is now deprecated.







As far as I understand from the description, this will be the usual AppEngine with ACL support (that is, someone will be able to deploy the application, and someone will only view the data) + some features:



- SQL support - Q3 2010

- SSL for your own domain (this is also in the current roadmap for the regular AppEngine) - 4th quarter 2010

- Improved billing. (Apparently prepaid?)

- SLA will be determined. (one of its points, known for today - 99.9% uptime - but it seems to me a little, even for ordinary users with connected billing, IMHO, not to mention business accounts)

- Support. It would be cool if 24/7. But we will find out about this in 4Q 2010.



The cost of this pleasure is from $ 8 per user on your gApps domain, up to $ 1,000 per month for one application.



I, in general, subscribed to this commercial creation, as they will let in the new admin panel - I will tell you what is there, and how.
