My experience is that GAE is fine if you need to store many chunks of data (like wiki page) with very little relations to each other (no complex references), retrieve them by key/id (no complex queries) and are planning to have a lot of concurrent requests/second for that data.
GAE is slow but it scales. It scales as long as queries are simple. You lose the ability to manipulate server-side an arbitrary large number of records. You can only fetch 1000 records at the time. You also risk data integrity because you have only single entity transactions not real transactions as in a relational database. I use it and I like it but for web2py.com for example, with 50000 requests/day I prefer to pay $20/month and run on a VPS.
