Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

Google App Engine and Oracle Developer Cloud Service are both cloud platforms but serve different aspects of application development. Google App Engine might have the upper hand in pricing and scalability, while Oracle Developer Cloud Service stands out with its comprehensive development capabilities and integration.

Features: Google App Engine enhances productivity with automatic scaling, managed infrastructure, and real-time analytics. It also integrates well with Google's ecosystem, providing seamless access to Google's suite of services. Oracle Developer Cloud Service offers comprehensive continuous integration and deployment tools, extensive collaboration features, and deep integration with Oracle applications, supporting robust enterprise-level applications.

Have managed resources seamlessly thanks to robust platform capabilities

The areas of Google App Engine that I would to improve or enhance include its allowance for complete end-to-end deployment and scalability; however, it is manageable only for a few languages. For instance, it doesn't support languages C and C++, only basic support for Node.js, Java, and Ruby. It's not a comprehensive solution for all scenarios. Moreover, the security feature is based on IAM roles, but it should ideally be based on Active Directory (AD) roles. For IAM-based roles, we need to add the proper users and provide all security permissions manually. In an AD-based model, we would simply add users to a specific group, and all permissions would be inherited.

Ability to create different connections, multi-tenant architecture but slow execution of commands

There are a lot of features in Oracle Developer. You can create tables, users, views, materialized views. You can also do data pump jobs to export jobs, export databases and dump files, create backup jobs, that sort of thing. Users can usually integrate this tool with other solutions for development or management processes. There are different connections you can create. For example, with Office applications, you can connect to the database. Or if you're programming in Java, you can use a JDK connection to retrieve data from the database and read, store, or update records. For security, everything's perfect. You can use an SSH connection if you're accessing a server in the cloud, or you just have a normal IP connection if you're running your database on the local network.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."

"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."

"The customer service is excellent and very responsive."

"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."

"The most valuable features of Google App Engine include the ease of rolling back deployments when failures occur, the ability to track deployment times, and the feature to split traffic between different instances."

"Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."

"What I appreciate most about Google App Engine is that the deployment is significantly easier compared to a conventional Linux platform."

"The auto-scaling feature helped us significantly in our fast-paced environment where the number of users was increasing rapidly."

More Google App Engine pros

"With the multi-tenant architecture, you can migrate many databases to one instance. This saves a lot of money and administrative work."

"The solution's technical support is really good."

"The APEX solution is the most interesting part of the Oracle Developer Service. APEX is the most cost-effective and most popular service for developers. Kubernetes and Docker services are also important and very much cost-effective, and helpful for developers. If we compare Oracle to other cloud services providers, they'll also be cost-effective. The financial involvement is also a good point because other cloud services charge for Docker and Kubernetes solutions. Oracle's offering is almost free. They only charge for the VM or virtual machine. This is also an interesting part for the developers as well."

Cons

"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."

"There are two versions of Google App Engine: flexible and standard versions. I think they can improve by having only one version."

"The areas of Google App Engine I would to see improved or enhanced in the future include expanding inbuilt support for more programming languages than the current limited options such as Python, Go, and Node, ideally adding support for languages such as Java."

"Some clients don't use it because Google is very unstable with their products. Google has terminated many promising products in the past, and some clients have stated, 'This is from Google, we don't trust it because Google can change their mind any day.'"

"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."

"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."

"The only concern is that there is a number of the offerings which are built on their own proprietary technologies. With some of the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."

"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."

More Google App Engine cons

"Improvements are needed in terms of the usage of the map chart and risk management services."

"t would be better if the open-source databases were managed. Some managed services for open-source databases are available in other cloud solutions, but Oracle doesn't have any. They should provision more managed services for open-source databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. These types of managed database services should be available in Oracle Cloud Service and others. There are other technical issues like the CDN network that is not directly configured to Oracle and needs support from a third party. There are also some services available in AWS and Azure that should be included in Oracle Cloud Service."

"Sometimes, I lose the cursor in the editor, and it disappears for no reason. It's hard to guess where I'm in the text, and I feel a bit lost."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If we don't know how to work with the tool, we might have some spikes in price."

"We pay the license yearly. It's about $6 a month, which is $72 a year per person, so it's about $500."

"I would like to have more free application with it. Some of the applications, I am paying more for them. I think that they must be free."

"I rate the pricing two on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Oracle Developer Cloud Service isn't an expensive product. It's definitely cheaper than any other enterprise cloud solution."
