I suspect that you will get just as much value from AWS. Given you are using PaaS on GAE you might want to look at Azure as you don't have to run .net - we've put tomcat and java/spring apps on Azure.
I think what galls me is that the service dashboard is pretending that all is well and no one from google appears to be looking into this and talking on a forum is not the same as talking to google engineers. More than happy to inject diagnostic code into my app for them if it will help them get to the bottom of things. For me I noticed this happing on Tuesday morning UK time and I hate feeling powerless to make a remedy!
