From a more controversial and complex point of view, we can determine that executing these operations without an existing server, greatly facilitates administration and cost reduction, for the use of said system in particular, without excluding that one of the characteristics that most attract my attention about this software, is that its implementation is quick and easy, it does not require a learning curve for this process, which makes integration more flexible and accelerates in any digital platform, since in other perspectives it is worth highlighting, which is one of the best complete machine alternatives for small applications.

What do you dislike?
The follow-up and resolution of problems of any doubt or mishap presented within this platform are not efficient, and much less easy to apply, requiring experienced personnel in these areas, to encourage them manually, which is an annoying and dissatisfied work that requires a lot of effort for their entire daily work, without excluding that one of the aspects that result in total frustration is that it creates dependency on the provider.

I like this software because its implementation process in any digital platform is extremely easy, mentioning the Google documentation is clear and concise, in addition to acquiring extremely extensive terms according to your data center protected in this system, and it does not need a learning curve to learn to manipulate these functions, thanks to its flexibility at a general level, highlighting that it is one of the best complete machine alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
This software does not provide a full-text search api, in other words we can describe that the documentation in general terms is sometimes deficient, since it is often outdated or simply incorrect when we enter the name of a file to be searched in the data center of this system, not excluding that standard instances could provide better support for more technology stacks.

I like how it is really easy to navigate Google, and I feel most comfortable using Google for all of my business needs. I used to use Google App Engine, but now I do things more independently. I wanted to feel like I was in control more, and not use the app. I mainly like to stick to doing things on pencil and paper because I feel like I can check for accuracy easier. Overall, great app, but I may want to use it in the future, I am just not sure yet for my companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes with Google, I feel as though when there is an update it takes me a few minutes to be able to recognize the new icon, plus new features in the updates. There is nothing wrong with the app itself, but it is a great starter tool for new businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it is very easy to understand for a person who is making his/her first step into cloud technology. Auto scalable and managed totally by Google is also a great feature for a small team or a prototype application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GAE ecosystem. Gae comes with its ecosystem and it's very easy to get attached to it. The ease of use of other services such as analytics and stack driver is great but it comes with a cost which can easily go way up. Then there are some versions of languages which are not supported. Gae can stop supporting certain version anytime and you have to keep up with their pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is we don't need to buy servers or server space. I don't need to think about maintenance cost. In addition to this it will easily scale and increase the system reliability and availability. Our developers doing the Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

But in fact we have read-only access to the filesystem on App Engine. There are some minor cases, we should have access to the file system when it comes to plug-able architecture. all the components classes should be able to upload to the file system to load it dynamically. That is not possible with the app engine.
Sometimes it is not possible to create java threads, I have tested with spring boot and even quarkus frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Google Application Engine allows to deploy web services implemented on several languages and frameworks. I used GAE since 2012. My first services were implemented with Python for web2py framework. Now i use java8 Spring Boot because of typed programming language and better framework for robust applications
- GAE application is deployed to an environment , sand-box, scalable by default. You get out-of box the same functionality as if you run Kubernet cluster with fully automatic scaling setup at price less by an order of magnitude than Kubernet setup.
- since November 2019 GAE applications use full Cloud SDK and Appengine SDK, that was subset of full SDK become obsolete. So now there is no restriction in use any Google Cloud service inside GAE application. In my company we implemented application that uses Dataflow service for data preparation and sharing Datastore service among several GAE applications.
- GAE applications are suitable for microservice architecture. Here, each microservice is represented as GAE application.
- GAE application deployment is versionned. You can revert back deployed version that serves user traffic in one click. It is life saver measure in disastrous situation. Or it is possible to split traffic between different versions to realize A-B testing, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly there is nothing to improve in Google Cloud Platform. I am just waiting for Google to extend current product portfolio. In my opinion GCP far outperform any existed Cloud platform in sense of usability , price, and features. Note GAE is the first serverless approach platform available for developers appeared in 2012 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using language(s) that I am familiar with. Development environment as well - Eclipse. Deployment is straightforward. Decent documentation is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
I dislike when platform changes. Upgrading to java7 costed me changing and re-deploying applications that were already working stable for years. The same goes when you dropped support for previous persistence libraries and switched to Objectify. I had to modify otherwise fully operable apps that were tested previously and that run for years without problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

App Engine is a Managed Platform as a Service which supports Java, Python, PHP, Go & Node.js.
Deployment in App Engine is straight forward, just need to define App.yaml, run gcloud app deploy command & code is uploaded, infrastructure is ready & service is up and running. Setup of App Engine is very easy & provides lots of option to specify machine configuration. Cron Job feature is also very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support functions are sometimes hard to get by, although it's not often that we reach out with support questions. Sometimes deprecations are hard to keep of track as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requirement are really minimal. All server operation are automagically made by Google, you deploy your code/app and Google do all the rest! Balancing, serving, increase and decrease resources, security... one yaml config file is all you need! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
Easy means that personalization is minimal, and probably you pay something more for this. If you leave that is someone else that configure all of the server operation is obvius that is a service that you have to pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google app engine helps solving all my professional and personal needs. It has helped me gain insightful knowledge about finance and also helped me clear CFA Level 1 also. I have also started my journey to become an Enrolled Agent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no issues with the app but this should be updated with technological changes. It hangs up sometimes and then it doesn't open for sometime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google app engine allows you to focus on writing on your code without having to worry about all the underlying infrastructure. This allows for a "code first" mentality. Developers can focus on building applications without having to worry about things like dependencies. App Engine seamlessly connects to other Google services such as data store and cloud SQL. Best of all, app engine can scale as required and can even scale to zero in order to avoid incurring charges. If you want more control over infrastructure, you can switch to app Engine flex and modify the underlying infrastructure as required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
Google app Engine standard requires your code to be written in very specific languages. This feels a bit restrictive and if code would like to be written in any other language, the upgrade to app Engine flex can be a bit steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google App Engine is a good option for developers wanting to focus on coding their applications while not worrying about system administration. Quickly build and deploy applications using many of the popular languages like Java, PHP, Node.js, Python,c++, .Net Ruby, and Go or bring your own language runtimes and frameworks if you choose. Get started quickly with zero configuration deployments in App Engine. Manage resources from the command line, debug source code in production and run API backends easily using industry-leading tools such as Cloud SDK, Cloud Source Repositories, IntelliJ IDEA, Visual Studio, and PowerShell. Choose to run your applications in a serverless environment without the worry of over or under-provisioning. App Engine automatically scales depending on your application traffic and consumes resources only when your code is running. You will only need to pay for the resources you consume.

GAE is yet not stable enough. Even Google says that GAE is the same infrastructure of Google self-internal project. And the budget would increase much when your website becomes bulky. Without a native file system read/write access, it is hard to process some data transform with the existing library, and it doesn’t support some native file system base library as well.
It does not provide full-text search API. Also, the SDK/Java is unfavorable with Maven. It is unsatisfactory to accomplish lots of external libraries. The SDK/Java depth rest on IDE, and the default project directory structure is some difference with normal web app.
It is not easy to process unit test. It cannot fix the root cause and does not support add SSL to the web site. The GAE may be the development for future web application, but it is not equipped for building a modern web site now. It suffers from the inability to tweak server software. The Filesystem and many standard library modules are inaccessible. Only Python and a few runs of Java Virtual machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best thing about Google App Engine is the cost attached to it which is a little less as compared to other stuffs available in the market, rest I'm not saying it's easily affordable to every big or small organisation, but can be considered as a good option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
