Features

Channel API, pushes messages to JavaScript, great for chat apps and real-time notifications.
Integrated datastore, full SQL support coming soon, but SQL operations aren’t scalable, stick to native datastore for best results.
Task Que for doing operations in parallel, it will retry tasks till task successful, great for operations like importing large data where you want to insure the data will be uploaded, even if the datastore goes down the task que will retry until complete.
Mem Cache, a distributed caching system, can store a value up to 1mb and has around a 5 millisecond latency hit when retrieving, but is fully scalable and distributed. No more did I update a cache record in on this server and is it up to date with the same cache record on my other servers.
Email and XMPP, send email and XMPP messages (google talk and other chat messages), can also receive email and XMPP messages @yourapp.appspot.com. You can then create a handler for the message.
Versioning, allows you to upload your app with a version number, if new version is defective just change to a previous version, can store up to 10 different versions at once.
