kg, I have been using GAE for a couple of years now and this is a highly unusual situation. GAE has been a very successful product IMHO.
Whether recent events are a one-time situation or whether GAE has become a victim of its own success is hard to say. Speaking only for myself and my fledgling business, I intend to stick with it. As for what one can do, we do a fair amount of exception handling and retry in the code. When testing, we go to the extent of injecting random datastore errors and making sure the integrity of the data is preserved. It gets expensive to do so, and we don't do as much as I would like, but the investment has been worth it. HTH.
