Google App Engine
Google App Engine (GAE) is a fully managed, serverless platform for developing and hosting web applications at scale. It automatically handles infrastructure provisioning, scaling, and maintenance, allowing developers to focus on writing code without managing servers. It supports multiple programming languages and integrates with Google Cloud services for databases, storage, and APIs.
Developers should use Google App Engine when building scalable web applications, APIs, or mobile backends that require automatic scaling and minimal operational overhead. It is ideal for startups, rapid prototyping, and applications with variable traffic, as it eliminates server management and reduces deployment complexity. Use cases include e-commerce sites, SaaS platforms, and real-time applications that benefit from Google's global infrastructure.
