On: Running Pure Django Projects on Google App Engine

[axiom]

As much trouble as we've had with Google App Engine I still have to say that I genuinely respect how open and accommodating they've been to people who want to avoid vendor lock in.

I can't think of another company that would do something like this.

[izak30 → axiom]

Amazon and Rackspace both seem to be less prone to lock-in than AppEngine

Amazon and Rackspace: Infrastructure as a Service

GAE: Platform as a Service

But they're not really offering the same thing, are they?

Don't Amazon and Rackspace require you to administrate things?
