AppScale: open source Google App Engine implementation

AppScale is an open-source implementation of the Google App Engine cloud computing interface. It is being developed by researchers in the UC Santa Barbara RACELab. AppScale enables execution of Google App Engine (GAE) applications on virtualized cluster systems. In particular, AppScale enables users to execute GAE applications using their own clusters with greater scalability and reliability than the GAE SDK provides. Moreover, AppScale executes automatically and transparently over cloud infrastructures such as the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Eucalyptus, the open-source implementation of the AWS interfaces.

The goal of AppScale is to provide a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) cloud infrastructure that enables users to deploy, test, debug, measure, and monitor their GAE applications prior to deployment on Google's proprietary resources. In addition, we would also like to facilitate investigation and extension of the PaaS implementation: services, runtime, interoperation with lower-level cloud fabric, etc.
