Snapchat runs off the back of App Engine, I don't think they're going to ditch it anytime soon.

why would snapchat's decisions have any consequence for google's appengine roadmap?

Because Snapchat is a large enough client that Google cares about keeping them happy? (Not that I believe that)

IIRC, Snapchat moved off of app engine to EC2 last year.

No. HTTP requests to snapchat still return with "Server: Google Frontend" header.

I googled around and couldn't find any mention of this. Could you find a source?
