Google App Engine is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering that lets you build and run applications on Google’s infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs change. With App Engine, there are no servers for you to maintain. You simply upload your application and it’s ready to go.
The App Engine runtime environment
Google App Engine supports apps written in a variety of programming languages.
- Java: Using App Engine’s Java runtime environment, you can build your application using standard Java technologies.
- Python: App Engine features a fast Python interpreter and standard Python libraries.
- PHP: App Engine uses Google's Cloud Platform services under the hood when you call standard PHP functions.
- Go: App Engine features a Go runtime environment that runs natively compiled Go code.
Google App Engine makes it easy to build and deploy an application that runs reliably even under heavy load and with large amounts of data. It includes the following features:
- Persistent storage with queries, sorting, and transactions.
- Automatic scaling and load balancing.
- Asynchronous task queues for performing work outside the scope of a request.
- Scheduled tasks for triggering events at specified times or regular intervals.
- Integration with other Google cloud services and APIs.
Applications run in a secure, sandboxed environment, allowing App Engine to distribute requests across multiple servers, and scaling servers to meet traffic demands. Your application runs within its own secure, reliable environment that is independent of the hardware, operating system, or physical location of the server.
