AppEngine places quite severe restrictions on the amount of time it allows for each request. You should read the docs to get an understanding of this constraint and how it and other constraints effects everything you will do on the platform.
With that said, AppEngine is built to scale out and if you can implement your solutions within its constraints then your app would be able to handle millions of concurrent users.
