As you know, Google App Engine (Java) is here. It's standards-based and supports persistence though JPA/JDO, but if you want to interface it with a Flex app using AMF, your choices are kind of limited till AMF implementations like BlazeDS catch up.

We're just finishing up a project using Flex with GAE/J and have found that GraniteDS works really well. I've written a tutorial based on the experience, check out Cloud to RIA: Accessing Google App Engine (Java) Data Through Flex AMF (http://blog.allurefx.com/2009/05/cloud-to-ria-accessing-google-app.html).

If you're interested in the project itself, please check out SDNari (http://1.latest.sdnari.appspot.com). We're still working on it, would love your feedback on that as well.
