I also think GAE is an excellent platform to build REST services. Recently, I have build a couple of web-applications with following architecture.
Backend: GAE/Python (this is the MODEL) Protocol: REST (JSON over HTTP) Client-A: CONTROLLER implemented in JavaScript + Static HTML templates loaded from GAE (VIEW) Client-B: iPhone/iPad app written in Objective-C (CONTROLLER) + Resource bundles edited by IB (VIEW) By doing so I can (1) minimize the server side of code (and runtime size because I don't need large framework - notice that I perform data- view binding on the client side), (2) clearly separate the model, view and controller, (3) use the exact same protocol among multiple clients.
