They are two very powerful platforms for web application development and I am interested in which is the better platform. In the case of App Engine, which is the better language to develop in the platform because is possible to use java and python, besides others.
It depends on the use of requirements of web application. Before developing web application, there is need to understand the technical importance of both platforms. As, App Engine lets engineers use accustomed development environments and tools to shape their applications. This comprises of the Java, Python, and Go languages. Because App Engine helps the Java, a host of other languages that run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) are also compatible, which include (but not limited to): Ruby (JRuby), Scala, PHP (Quercus), Groovy, Python (Jython) and JavaScript (Rhino). If you want to use Jython (running the pure Python runtime vs Python on the Java runtime). It is nice way to control a legacy Java codebase while developing new code in Python as Jython that can be used with both Java and Python objects.

Both of them have their own pros and cons. Google AppEngine is so great and support so many languages. It also runs on its own infrastructure and server. But it lack of flexibility and has no standard SQL DB.
Google AppEngine is a good platform. However, your application will be limited to that. But do you have only these options?
I have around four year experience in this domain and I have found Ruby on Rails on AWS / Heroku is best ecommerce option.
