Domino vs Google App Engine: What are the differences?

Domino: A PaaS for data science - easily run R, Python or Matlab code in the cloud with automatic version control for data, code, and results. Use our cloud-hosted infrastructure to securely run your code on powerful hardware with a single command — without any changes to your code. If you have your own infrastructure, our Enterprise offering provides powerful, easy-to-use cluster management functionality behind your firewall; Google App Engine: Build web applications on the same scalable systems that power Google applications. Google has a reputation for highly reliable, high performance infrastructure. With App Engine you can take advantage of the 10 years of knowledge Google has in running massively scalable, performance driven systems. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow.

Domino and Google App Engine belong to "Platform as a Service" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Domino are:

• Domino Cloud supports the most powerful data analysis languages — Python, R, MATLAB, and Julia
• Modern and powerful cluster management
• Use a single-core machine during development

On the other hand, Google App Engine provides the following key features:

• Zero to sixty: Scale your app automatically without worrying about managing machines.
• Supercharged APIs: Supercharge your app with services such as Task Queue, XMPP, and Cloud SQL, all powered by the same infrastructure that powers the Google services you use every day.
• You're in control: Manage your application with a simple, web-based dashboard allowing you to customize your app's performance.
