App Engine for All

Build modern web and mobile applications on an open cloud platform: bring your own language runtimes, frameworks, and third party libraries. Google App Engine is a fully managed platform that completely abstracts away infrastructure so you focus only on code. Go from zero to planet-scale and see why some of today’s most successful companies power their applications on App Engine.

For All Language Communities

Out of the box, App Engine supports Node.js, Java, Ruby, C#, Go, Python, and PHP. Developers from these language communities can be productive immediately in a familiar environment: just add code.

The Future of Cloud is Open

Developers reject proprietary tools that lock them into platforms and technologies with artificial constraints. Need something different out of the box? Supply your own Docker image or bring your own custom software stack, from language runtimes to frameworks to third party libraries. Need to move your application to a different platform? Take your application with you and deploy it to a container-based system like Kubernetes on-prem or in the private or public cloud.

Just Add Code

Nothing gets between you and shipping high-quality code. Offload infrastructure concerns like scaling your app up or down to handle traffic, load balancing, health-checking and healing your instances, and applying updates to the underlying OS—all fully managed on your behalf by Google.

Infrastructure When You Need It

Enjoy a fully managed developer experience, or drop down into infrastructure for high-control when you need it. SSH directly into your instances to deploy custom code, manage containers, or integrate App Engine into your DevOps process. Specify your app’s CPU and memory requirements, and App Engine will automatically provision the infrastructure on your behalf.

End to End Compute for Any Workload

Larger companies with existing or legacy applications run in hybrid, often multi-cloud environments where apps may be deployed to VMs, containers, or fully managed platforms.

GCP excels in this diverse environment and lets your apps communicate with very low latency on Google’s world-class network infrastructure to support any workload.

Growing Ecosystem of Services

App Engine is designed for you to tap into a growing ecosystem of managed services, just an API call away. Choose from SQL and NoSQL databases, monitoring & diagnostics tools, popular services like Cloud Pub/Sub, and a range of great developer tools on GCP.

“ We want automatic scaling and high availability, but need O/S level control for our in-house logging and BI infrastructure. Google App Engine’s Flexible Environment enables us to focus on what we do best rather than on IT. ”
