What this means is that Mesosphere is delivering an application that enables customers to deploy Mesosphere clusters on the Google Cloud Platform rapidly.

Khan Academy runs on Google Cloud Platform
Google Cloud Platform provides a flexible and reliable environment to put these principles into practice. With Google App Engine in particular, we get a big, enormous, whopper of a benefit — consistent Datastore performance no matter how big the product gets. Even if we have a query that returns 10 items from a set of 10,000, we can relax. We know that as our company grows over time, we’ll get the exact same speed when pulling 10 items from a set of 10,000,000,000. http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2013/08/khan-academy-runs-on-google-cloud-platform.html
