App Engine offers you a choice between two Python language environments. Both
environments have the same code-centric developer workflow, scale quickly and
efficiently to handle increasing demand, and enable you to use Google’s proven
serving technology to build your web, mobile and IoT applications quickly and
with minimal operational overhead. While the two environments have a lot in
common, they differ in a few important ways.

Optimized to scale nearly instantaneously to handle huge traffic spikes
You can run an App Engine application in two environments, the
standard environment and the flexible environment. See a summary
of differences between the two environments.
