Creating Google App Engine
Getting started with App Engine.
We'll cover the following...
In the last lesson, we looked at the Cloud Run hello world deployment. As it is a managed service we just had to focus on packaging our code correctly and then it is piece of cake to deploy it.
In this lesson, we will learn about one more serverless platform App Engine. This is a managed environment for developers who wanted to deploy code from their IDE itself. Google launched the App engine in 2008 at that time it was a great tool for developers to have a one-click deployment thing. So, we will take a brief look at App Engine.
Introduction
App Engine is totally focused platform for application development over HTTP/HTTPS. App Engine supports application running on these protocols only. GCP launched App Engine as its first cloud product in 2008. Also, remember you can have only one App Engine per project.
App Engine is “Platform As A Service” offering from GCP. You can create/code web applications using GCP’s App Engine and don’t have to manage the infrastructure for hosting it on GCP. Let’s talk about the different features it has.
