Google APP Engine Changed Our Lives

We used Google app engine and migrated close to 15 application and transformed the app landscape for the better. Google app engine truly changed the dynamics of our project and using it did really changed our lives. Speed up the development with less hurdles to jump in the infrastructure level and having the scalability built in made is easy to "Quick to Start" and "Easy to Use".

Being PaaS, that is fully managed and we used inbuilt services to run our apps. Team was able to start development almost instantly after downloading the software development kit (SDK).

We were able to use multiple languages to suit our need as Go, Java, PHP or Python to write an app engine application. We develop and test an app locally using the SDK containing tools for deploying apps. Every language has its own SDK and runtime.

There are service-level agreement of the app engine. Any changes made to such a feature are backward-compatible and implementation of such a feature is usually stable. These include data storage, retrieval, search, and app configuration and management.

Faster Time to Market

  1. Feature-rich apps with a quick development process
  2. The backend application in a PaaS style environment
  3. NoSQL style storage, flexible data storage, or Google Cloud SQL for relational database support

Cost Savings

We did not need to manage our servers or to do that our-self. We were able to invest the money saved into other parts of our organization.

SQL vs NoSQL

  How did we approach it ? what did we consider ? When it comes to choosing a database, one of the biggest decisions is picking a relational (SQL) or non-relational (NoSQL) data structure. While both are viable options, there are certain key differences between the two that users must keep in mind when making a decision. Dimensions we looked at from the perspective of the database :  Language + Scalability + Structure +  adaption + Cost We approached it in a way so that we can understand the real complexity behind this decision, We had to think about this little differently because it involves organization and how it can be adopted, whether it is going to be cost effective, can it be scalable, Will it fit the need of the application.  There are certain instances that we found that no SQL databases that are managed databases from any cloud provider (Azure, AWS or GCP) are more expensive than traditional SQL databases. In another instant that better suited candidate is the no SQL databas
