I think it's still a mystery so far. They seem to want to follow App Engine's philosophy and free the developer from all the sys-admin work, yet they provide implementation details (MySQL, Redis, and MongoDB are listed on their site). This means that the developer will still need to do some sys-admin work based on the implementation of data-storage they choose, unless they provide APIs that work for all those different implementations - I doubt it since data is stored very differently in MySQL compared to MongoDB.
So I think it's just another cloud-hosting provider (think of RackSpace), and I have no idea how they're going to scale MySQL :).
