Overall Satisfaction with Google App Engine

Our organization uses Google App Engine for writing, deploying and testing the code as it requires minimal configuration for testing of code and the code gets covered even in production which is a plus point. It helps in mitigating the errors and deploying and testing the code seamlessly to production.

Pros

  • Apps get automatically scaled based on the users, more users more instances and app runs smoothly.
  • Debugging and monitoring applications is easy even in production it automatically debugs the code.
  • It supports a lot of languages like Java, Python, Php, Ruby, etc which adds to the ease of development.

Cons

  • For beginners, there is a learning curve that can be reduced by decluttering the functionalities.
  • For much big migrations it takes to a lot of time to deploy which can be reduced.
  • The scaling of applications based on the user count is not seamless and it requires improvement.
  • It increases the ROI as it automatically debugs the code.
  • Scalability is not an issue as further configuration is not required.
  • Deployment is very easy to production and less resources are needed for this.
For our organization, we selected Google App Engine which provides a reliable and efficient way to create and deploy apps moreover it supports a lot of languages and provides automatic debugging of code which enables us to deploy code to production as soon as development is completed using Google Stack Driver Diagnostics.

Google App Engine is a great tool for app building that provides support for a lot of languages and scalability options when the user base increases by creating parallel instances of the app which reduces the downtime. It automatically debugs the code even in the production as well as sandbox environments which reduces the risk of functionality breaking.
