title: What alternatives are there to Google App Engine?
body: <p>What alternatives are there to GAE, given that I already have a good bit of code working that I would like to keep.  In other words, I'm digging python.  However, my use case is more of a low number of requests, higher CPU usage type use case, and I'm worried that I may not be able to stay with App Engine forever.  I have heard a lot of people talking about Amazon Web Services and other sorts of cloud providers, but I am having a hard time seeing where most of these other offerings provide the range of services (data querying, user authentication, automatic scaling) that App Engine provides.  What are my options here?</p>
