谷歌展示App Engine产品图

Google announced a tentative product road map for its cloud computing service App Engine. The road map, which was published yesterday along with App Engine documentation, is fairly vague, and Google engineers concede that dates could slip, but the document does nonetheless give us some indication of what is coming from Google.

谷歌宣布了其云计算服务App Engine的暂定产品路线图。 该路线图与App Engine文档一起在昨天发布，相当模糊，Google工程师承认日期可能会有所减少，但该文档的确提供了一些有关Google的信息。

By the end of the first quarter of 2009, Google expects to add the following features to its App Engine product:

Google希望在2009年第一季度末为其App Engine产品添加以下功能：

• Service for storing and serving large files
  用于存储和提供大文件的服务
• Datastore import and export utility for large datasets
  大型数据集的数据存储导入和导出实用程序
• Billing: developers can pay for more resource usage
  计费：开发人员可以为更多的资源使用付费
• Support for a new runtime language
  支持新的运行时语言
• Uptime monitoring site
  正常运行时间监控站点

The document is short on specifics, so we’re left to guess at what the new runtime language that App Engine is planning to support could be. Recently there was a lot of chatter about a report out of India that Java would be the next App Engine language based on feedback from the community.

该文档缺少详细信息，因此我们只能猜测App Engine计划支持的新运行时语言是什么。 最近，有很多关于印度的报道引起人们的热议，基于社区的反馈， Java将成为下一种App Engine语言 。

Google, however, denied that anything is in the cards soon and was coy about what languages they’re working to support. “While we don’t have any immediate plans or announcements, we are working on other languages for App Engine. Security and performance are our primary concerns with any new language runtime and getting it right takes time,” the company said in a statement according to ZDNet Asia.

但是，谷歌否认很快就会出现任何问题，并且对他们正在努力支持的语言不满意。 “虽然我们没有任何立即的计划或公告，但我们正在为App Engine开发其他语言。 ZDNet Asia在一份声明中说：“安全性和性能是我们使用任何新语言运行时的主要考虑因素，正确解决这一问题需要时间。”

If Google does support Java, then it seems likely that the Java Virtual Machine languages would also work. Meaning that people could then use JRuby and Rhino on App Engine.

如果Google确实支持Java，那么Java虚拟机语言似乎也可以使用。 这意味着人们可以在App Engine上使用JRuby和Rhino。

The roadmap, though teasingly ambiguous, is packed with significant updates. One of the most noteworthy is the announcement of the impending addition of billing. In order for developers to look at App Engine as a serious alternative to other cloud computing platforms, such as Amazon’s, making sure customers are never greeted with quota exceeded messages is definitely a key.

该路线图虽然含糊其词，但其中包含重大更新。 最值得一提的是即将增加计费的公告。 为了使开发人员能够将App Engine视为其他云计算平台(例如Amazon的平台)的替代产品，确保客户永远不会受到超出配额的消息的欢迎绝对是关键。
