I really like idea of Go on AppEngine (blog.golang.org/appengine-go111), now I just need to figure out a project idea to try it out...

Chrome CI infrastructure has been on AppEngine (handling over 12000 workers) since 2013 and it works great. Not having to bother with stateful servers, secure by default, trivially run multiple server versions concurrently, growing DB to tens of TB without thinking about it.

Need to think a lot about it if you aren't Google and running a query on that database can end up costing thousands of dollars. It's nice to use (saves lots of time) and scales very well, but IMO pricing + scaling + lock-in makes it a huge trap for individuals / small businesses.

It looks like the ability to run proper Go binaries makes it less of a lock-in than serverless. When serving cost begins to exceed cost of migration, port app and migrate?
