I do, full production. And my suggestion is not to use it for production. You can have very easy start with GAE since no server config, easy deploy and tons of other good things. But you will get more pain of growth due to these issues: 1. Manually quota increase process. This is not a problem if during working hours. But you may met this issue at 7PM and you need to wait for at least 14 hours to get a response, not mention during weekend or holidays. For people who have no idea about quota denials, quota denial means almost totally out of service. And currently we don't have visibility to all quotas like datastore and URL fetch. This makes it even harder to predict the needs of quota increase. 2. High amount CPU quota. This one has a very small quota number and does't scale with your other quota. Recently I found it comes abnormal and almost all my requests fallen into this category during certain period of time (can be up to hours), while I didn't change any code. Your traffic will drop to below 1.5 request/sec immediately no matter how much quota you have. 3. It's out of your control. Since it's preview version, GAE team has no responsibility to stay up late and work out your problem or provide you 24*7 support. So when issue happens, you can do nothing except waiting. Although GAE team responses quickly and provides useful helps, but there are several times I felt helpless off working hours. And my app has met 4 - 5 times serious issues like out of service for 6 hours during the last 10 days, due to the quota issues and there is nobody helping me (no blame here, they are sleeping or in weekend).
If you are building something not going to have heavy load, you can use GAE as production without much problem. But surely not business application, otherwise your customer will shout at you and you really can do nothing to help them.
