The free tier of App Engine (I'm only familiar with the Python platform) is somewhat accommodating. If it becomes too expensive, you may choose to move your app to your own machines running Typhoonae or Appscale. Neither of those is easy to install.

Heroku runs more portable things you can easily deploy on your own boxes.

Hi,

I guess I have to decide whether I am ready to pay a monthly fee on Heroku during bootstrap time as opposed to basically nothing on app engine. You said you were familiar with app engine, globally are you satisfied with the platform? I will use Python, whether on app engine or Heroku.
