Google Cloud Platform

With Google Cloud Platform, developers can build, test and deploy applications on Google's highly-scalable and reliable infrastructure for your web, mobile and backend solutions.

Focus on writing code, not on infrastructure, and use the same infrastructure that Google uses for your application, computing and big data needs.

Get Started Quickly

If you're ready to get started, try these solutions for getting software up and running on our platform!

LAMP Development Stack
LAMP (an acronym for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) is the archetypal open-source web development stack for many developers, and it runs great on Compute Engine!
Ruby Development Stack
Ruby on Rails is one of the most popular frameworks for developing web applications, powering sites like Github, Basecamp and Shopify. Rapidly create new features, easily maintain code, and take advantage of the many open source contributions to Ruby on Rails, running on Compute Engine.
Quickstart for WordPress
Set up a project, download a zip, change your config file, and deploy -- and you'll have a working WordPress project running on Google Cloud Platform, with App Engine as your hosting environment.
App Engine "Hello World" Starter
Start editing a working "Hello World" app right now, in the browser. This gives you a good starting point and a feel for what it's like editing a working App Engine application.

Documentation

Use the following section or the left-hand navigation to access the various sets of documentation that cover Google Cloud Platform. Choose from computing and hosting, storage, big data, management, services, and developer tools.

Computing and Hosting

App Engine
App Engine is Google's Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). Develop your application easily using built-in services that make you more productive. Deploy to a fully-managed platform and let Google carry the pager. Just download the SDK and start building immediately for free with no credit card required.
Compute Engine
Compute Engine is Google's Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). Run large-scale workloads on virtual machines hosted on Google's infrastructure. Choose a VM that fits your needs and gain the performance and consistency of Google’s worldwide fiber network. With per-minute billing, you pay only for what you use.

Storage

Cloud SQL
Store and manage data using a relational MySQL database. Google handles replication, patch management and database management to ensure availability and performance, and you can even have your instance automatically co-locate with your deployed applications.
Cloud Storage
Use a durable and highly available object storage service. With global edge-caching, your users have fast access to your app’s data from any location. Google manages versioning, guarantees a strong SLA and provides a simple API that allows you to manage your data programmatically.
Cloud Datastore
Cloud Datastore provides a managed, NoSQL, schemaless database for storing non-relational data. Cloud Datastore automatically scales as you need it and supports transactions as well as robust, SQL-like queries.

Big Data

Management
BigQuery
Analyze Big Data in the cloud with BigQuery. Run fast, SQL-like queries against multi-terabyte datasets in seconds. Scalable and easy to use, BigQuery gives you real-time insights about your data.
Apache Hadoop
Run Apache Hadoop along with your favorite tools from the vibrant Hadoop community by using Hadoop on Google Cloud Platform. Add more CPUs to your computations without worrying about breaking the bank.
Deployment Manager
Easily declare, deploy, and maintain complex applications using a simple templating mechanism, then deploy it with a single command. Deployment Manager then provisions, scales, and monitors your solution.

Developer Tools

Google Cloud SDK
Google Cloud SDK contains tools and libraries that allow you to create and manage resources on Google Cloud Platform.
Android Studio
Add Cloud Platform as a backend to your application right from the Android Studio IDE.
Google Plugin for Eclipse
Provides tooling, API support and easy deployment for App Engine Java developers.
Cloud Repositories
Cloud Repositories are fully-featured Git repos hosted on the Google Cloud Platform. Use your Cloud Repository as a remote to a local Git repo, or sync it with a repo hosted on GitHub.
Source Code Tools
After you've pushed source code to the Cloud Repository, you can browse, edit and troubleshoot its contents in the Cloud Developers Console, then publish your changes instantly.
Release Pipelines
Use Git to automatically deploy your application to App Engine. You can launch a new version with a repository push and get access to all of Git’s features, including a history of commits.
Cloud Playground
Run Cloud Platform services like App Engine, Cloud Storage and Cloud SQL right from your browser so you can quickly try them out.
