This allows you to easily serve the same app to multiple different customers, with each customer seeing their own unique copy of the app. I'm a bit confused by what this means exactly. Is it still 1 code base that you upload and manage or are you now just given the ability to upload different versions of code for each tenant? he API works will all of the relevant App Engine APIs (Datastore, Memcache, and Task Queues)…

I would love to have Appengine as an alternative to AWS, but what's a poor boy to do without his nodejs & cassandra?

The appengine photo URL service is just the first step in what will eventually be a full-blown CDN service for Appengine, and I'm sure ultimately, any Google AdWords customer. I'm sure all the CDNs are really excited about this prospect... :-(

Can you use only this part of the appengine's offer? or it's again the ToS? I see tons of scriptkidies inspecting this to cheaply scale their sites.

Appengine keeps getting better and better.

Indeed. Unfortunately, it started off at "Terrible". I think it's finally moved past "Embarrassing", but it's still a long way from "Ready to use." Give them another couple years, and maybe they'll make it all the way to "Good". Unfortunately, lots of us got burned by it in the early days and we probably won't be coming back.
