Google App Engine is a managed PAAS service that intends to help developers build & deploy scalable applications. The application you build can be scalable from zero to millions without worrying about management of the infrastructure. With Google App Engine, you can implement utmost focus upon the coding aspects, while every other requirement is fulfilled by the platform itself. Google App Engine is not just destined to build or deploy applications, but it also takes ideal concern for complete hosting of it as well. You have the potential to choose from top languages, frameworks, and libraries for developing web applications.
Google App Engine has the ability to scale down to even Zero when there is no request or traffic over your application. Hence, it can conclude upon a hefty amount of monetary savings. Google App Engine consists of an Application Version Deployment feature that allows you to roll back onto the previous version within a matter of seconds! Along with that, another feature includes traffic splitting, which has the potential of splitting the traffic between two versions. It offers help upon incremental rollout features and A/B Testing.
Some of the things that are best to run over Google App Engine include web apps, mobile backends, IoT, Frontend & Backend workload, and internal IT applications. With the knowledge of what you can run over App Engine, it is also important for you to know what you should not run over App Engine.
It includes genomics, media rendering, VM images, Financial Data Analytics, and Stateful storage. Your respective App Engine application is created under the Cloud Project when you build the app resources. App engine application is more like a top-level container that consists of instance resources, services, and versions, to make up the application.
At the moment of creating the App Engine app, all of the resources are created within the region of choice. Each of the applications built over the App engine consists of at least one service, which is set at default! This service can hold multiple versions, which depends upon the billing status of that application. There is a specific hierarchy that an application built over App Engine adapts and follows when it executes with multiple services.
Instance Management Over App Engine:
Google App Engine has the potential to create and shut down instances, depending upon the traffic fluctuations. You can specify quite a lot of instances for running a high amount of traffic without any limitation. You need to determine the scaling type that is to be implemented upon your application, to get an idea of how & when the new instances are proposed to be created!
Impactful Potentials of Google App Engine within Cloud:
Cloud Logging & Cloud Monitoring assist you in running the application scans, in identifying bugs within the app that you build over App Engine. The reporting document of the application intends to help developers fix the bugs or errors instantly to get the app back to efficient running condition.
The built-in NoSQL service can offer you storage space for over 1000 TB of data. Along with that, it also gets the advantage of low scalability and 3-independent replication sites. The apps built over App Engine can also prefer to use Google Cloud SQL, which is a relational database that exists within Google Cloud.
Google App Engine consists of several built-in APIs & services that are useful for creating top-notch applications. You get page speed services, SSL support, Google App Engine cloud storage, Cloud Endpoint for mobile apps, Blob store, app log access, and other such services. When it comes to APIs, you get User API, Memcache API, URL Fetch API, XMPP API, Channel API, and File API.
