Google App Engine Roadmap - Now Published

Posted by the App Engine Team

Many of you have expressed interest in learning about what's coming next for Google App Engine, and although we've often talked about features we plan on supporting, we've decided to publish this roadmap along with our documentation. Without further ado, here's what we've got coming up in the next 2 quarters:

  • Datastore import and export utility for large-scale databases
  • Billing: developers can pay for more resource usage
  • Support for a new runtime language
  • Uptime monitoring site

Thus, it should be noted that while we're working hard on these features, development schedules do slip at times, and the dates below may change. We'll do our best to update this roadmap as our engineers continue development.

Remember, you can always let us know what you think on our Google Group!!
