Force.com for Google App Engine - Connecting the Clouds
Force.com for Google App Engine provides developers a set of tools and services to build new kinds of Web and business applications entirely in the cloud. Instead of having to manage and maintain their own on-premise infrastructure, developers can use real-time cloud computing infrastructure from Google and salesforce.com to develop and deploy new applications on the Web. Force.com for App Engine will accelerate the success developers have had with App Engine in building Web applications, and makes it easy for them to integrate their App Engine apps to enterprise data stored in Force.com.
With Force.com for App Engine, Web applications built on App Engine can leverage enterprise data stored in Force.com. The new Force.com for Google App Engine gives developers:

Additionally, Force.com for Google App Engine includes:
