> Heroku seems to be like a more useful Google App Engine, a good place to host a blog or experimental project if you're not into dev-ops.

Considering Heroku is single-homed, I find it hilarious that you say it's less of a toy than GAE.

I was giving it the benefit of the doubt since there wasn't as much platform specific lock-in as GAE.

But yeah, the single-homing is pants-on-head.

You can always host your App Engine application on top of an AppScale or Typhoonae install.

I wish they were easier to set up, but, if your Google bill starts getting high, you can dedicate the resources required to do it. And multi-homing them is a whole different game.
