Pros Que decir que Google no sepa de desarrollo de aplicaciones, la ventaja de Google ofresca una infrastuctura para trabajar con aplicaciones y no tener que preocuparte si el hosting te sirva y que ademas te deje utilizar gratuitamente es un golazo. Cons Lo que no me gusta es que tienes que relacionar tu tarjeta de credito para que te den 300 dolares para ocupar el servicio por 90 dias. Para que te piden tarjeta si no te van a regalar. Luego si te interesa le sigues. Review Source EM Elizabeth M.

Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good yet limited to coding" February 5, 2025 4.0 Its a good product for the price and gets the job done. Pros What I liked most about it is that you only pay for whatever you use. Unlike other development apps where you have to pay for everything with only the intention of using some features. Cons How the app engine only has limited ability to control infrastructure and you have to wait for Google to fix any issues you may be experiencing. Review Source Denis B.

Pros It is easy to provision simple APIs and allows me as a developer to not worry about working with many other teams on infrastructure to run them, not to mention high availability.

Cons There is a learning curve for people who have never developed an app. Review Source CF CRISTIANE F.

Senior IT Officer Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Agrxis Review on Google App Engine" May 11, 2023 5.0 As a developer who has been utilizing Google App Engine for a while, I can honestly state that I have had nothing but excellent experiences. The platform has a user-friendly interface with potent capabilities that make it simple for me to manage my applications, from deploying and growing them to monitoring and debugging them.The versatility of Google App Engine is one feature I particularly value. The platform offers strong capabilities to facilitate the development and deployment of my apps and supports a wide range of programming languages. I particularly value how well Google Cloud services are integrated, since it has enabled me to use robust capabilities like Cloud SQL and Cloud Storage and manage my resources more effectively. Pros I have to mention that as a developer who has been using Google App Engine for a while, I'm continuously amazed by the platform. The simplicity and use of Google App Engine are what I appreciate most about it. The platform has a user-friendly interface with potent capabilities that make it simple for me to manage my applications, from deploying and growing them to monitoring and debugging them.The versatility of Google App Engine is just another feature I adore. The platform offers a uniform user experience and strong capabilities to enable the development and deployment of my projects, whether I'm working with Python, Java, Node.js, or another supported language. I particularly value how well Google Cloud services are integrated, since it has enabled me to use robust capabilities like Cloud SQL and Cloud Storage and manage my resources more effectively. Cons I have to admit that as a developer who has been using Google App Engine for a while, I'm generally impressed with the platform. But if I had to choose one aspect of Google App Engine that I dislike most, it would be the price.Although the platform has many useful features and resources, using it for larger applications or popular websites can be rather pricey. It might be irritating at times because the price models for some of the services can be complicated and challenging to forecast. Additionally, although while many of the services offer free limits, these might be rather limited and might not be enough for more complex applications. Reason for choosing Google App Engine It's relatively cheap and easy to use. Review Source FT Fedor T. CTO Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Scalability for dummies" May 8, 2022 5.0 I must admit I'm long time App Engine user and I still like it, so for me it's pity to see some nice old features retiring. And I think "is App Engine still relevant" is the main question for many people in 2022. Yes, Google Cloud Platform offers so many more options, but in my opinion App Engine still could be a relevant choice for many projects. I won't choose it if I would be required to go for the Flex environment and I would rather choose for Cloud Run. Also I won't choose it if I'm good with Cloud Functions. However I'd seriously consider it if I'm developing a web service providing mission critical business logic and I need to run it at scale. Pros App Engine is really easy to get started with and without compromise on scalability or security aspects. Instead of growing DevOps and system administration team you can run mission critical web applications at scale without even thinking of having dedicated people in this functions. Just need to follow very simple guidelines. Cons Vendor lock is one thing to consider. Currently App Engine is not like it used to be 10 years ago when you have to use all its proprietary services, however if you want to get most of it and most of Google Cloud Platform in overall you should definitely start using GCP services like Cloud Tasks, Pub/Sub, Firestore and many more. These services unleash huge productivity, but they also create huge vendor lock. Also App Engine is not cheap when volumes grow, in fact you may save serious money just by switching to another compute services in Google Cloud Platform. Review Source WI Wassim I. Associate Professor Computer Networking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Google App Engine: a real PaaS Infrastructure for Cloud App Development" August 10, 2023 4.0 Google App Engine provides competitive platform and software services in the cloud that provides the developer with a unified platform that encompasses development and production. This is a dream-come-true for everyone working in the IT industry. Pros I really enjoyed the Platform as a Service (PaaS) model followed by Google which allows the client to develop and deploy a cloud server application using popular programming languages such as Java and Python among others. Unifying the development and production phases in Google App Engine streamlines a lot of error prone processes related mainly to RDBMS connection strings and configuration and makes the movement from the development phase to the production phase very smooth since the two phases are now carried out on the same cloud architecture. I used Google AppEngine for developing and hosting service routing protocols for determining energy-efficient request forwarding paths in composite-service cloud architectures. Very flexible pricing scheme with a lot of free daily credit which makes the development stress free when testing and tuning. I highly recommend Google App Engine for PaaS and SaaS cloud services. Cons Infrastructure services are available but not as developed as the SaaS and PaaS services. Would mainly rely on Amazon EC2 for IaaS services. Review Source NI Naquentta I. Medical biochemistry and molecular biology Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Google app engine is amongst the best search engines" October 29, 2023 5.0 Pros It gives you access to numerous sources of a particular topic Cons I basically liked everything about this search engine Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Human resource Security and Investigations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Honest Review" September 13, 2023 5.0 I enjoy my use with the app. I'm still using it. Pros I like the UI, its so interactive and anyone can use it from the word go. Cons The app feels a little less "modern" now that we're in 2023, it can do with a few touches here and there and it'll be updated. Review Source TM Timothy M. Environmental officer Environmental Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Google app review" May 11, 2023 5.0 Great Pros Ease of use and the simple process of using Cons There are no aspects of thos app that are not good Review Source Yosue V.

Su integración de fases de desarrollo y producción reduce errores y facilita la transición.

Cons Tengo ciertas reservas sobre la cantidad de datos personales que se solicitan exclusivamente durante el proceso de registro Review Source Rono K. Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "I really like the fact that Google App Engine is user friendly and straight forward" May 13, 2023 4.0 So far I am satisfied by Google App Engine Pros I really loved the free trial period and the elaborative interface of their website. Cons I am a bit skeptical about the amount of personal information that is required on sign up alone. Review Source Mando C. Founder Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Going serverless" June 24, 2022 5.0 Pros It scales down to zero when there is no traffic to my website. This way, I am not charged at all. Its fully managed, so that I focus all my time and energy on my source code. This increases my productivity. I can configure auto-scaling minimum and maximum instances to suit on my budget. Cons You have to be familiar with or trained on Google Cloud before you can use this service. The configurations have to be hard coded to create a template. Reason for choosing Google App Engine its well supported and once you have figured the platform, it becomes a breeze to run other apps on app engine.
