Chapter 4. Google App Engine

Google App Engine is a serverless compute solution that allows you to run your applications without having to manage the underlying infrastructure. App Engine supports a variety of programming languages including Node.js, Java, Ruby, C#, Go, Python, and PHP; you can even use a unsupported language by using containers. App Engine has two editions: Standard and Flexible. Flexible allows you to bring any library and framework to App Engine.

App Engine provides you with enterprise-ready deployment features such as application versioning, traffic splitting, security, monitoring, and debugging. With App Engine, all you need to focus on is your code; Google Cloud manages the underlying infrastructure. In this chapter, you will learn how to deploy your application with a CI/CD pipeline, secure it, map a custom domain, use ML APIs, and debug your application.

All code samples for this chapter are in this book’s GitHub repository. You can follow along and copy the code for each recipe by going to the folder with that recipe’s number.
