When deploying Google App Engine, be aware that it must be done through Cloud Shell as there is no UI option. Each project can only have one Google App Engine instance, and it must be deployed in a single region without the ability to change regions afterward. This limitation requires either deleting the project or creating a new one to change regions. Based on my experience, I rate Google App Engine 9 out of 10.
I would absolutely recommend this product to other people. Regarding Google App Engine, I feel very flexible working with it, so I do not have specific advice at this time. There is a research team working on making it more efficient, so I rely upon that. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Google App Engine a 9.

It is easy to integrate Google App Engine with other Google Cloud solutions, especially with the database Firebase. Once the IT department learns that they can trust Gmail, Workspace, and similar services, there remains hesitation when they discover the application runs on Google App Engine, leading them to decline its use. I would recommend Google App Engine to others. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Google App Engine a seven out of ten.
I would assess the global reach and redundancy capabilities of Google App Engine in terms of performance and reliability as mostly bounded to a specific reason, particularly in Europe, though we have one application deployed in different regions such as Europe and the US. My impression of the pricing of Google App Engine is that it's very cheaper than traditional applications. If you deploy any application on traditional servers running 24 hours, you'll find that App Engine significantly reduces costs and helps in scalability. I work with different GCP products, and as a GCP architect, I'm well-versed with various other services of GCP as well. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Google App Engine a 9.
I have not worked on any AI projects or AI-driven initiatives within Google App Engine. When I was using it approximately 10 months ago, AI features weren't as prevalent as they are now. We utilized Google's BigQuery extensively for data analysis, but not for AI features. We had around 1,000 users at peak, though I don't have exact numbers as I didn't have access to analytics. Our development team was small, with approximately six or seven developers at peak. I rate Google App Engine 8 out of 10.
I rate Google App Engine's technical support as nine out of ten. Currently, over 200 of our customers are using Google App Engine. Our customers are primarily schools, ranging from 10,000 to 80,000 students. We even had Pepsi as our client. Our customer base varies in size from small to large organizations across all three categories. Overall, I give Google App Engine a rating of nine out of ten.
I would rate Google App Engine as a 9 out of 10, as there is an instance running with the flexible solution. If no requests are coming in, it may continuously run without activity, which incurs costs. However, if it is actively serving requests, it produces instant results. The standard edition can scale to zero when idle, which is acceptable, but any incoming requests will require time to set up. I am open to new technologies, and I'm constantly enhancing my skills and knowledge. I always seek to learn more and embrace new opportunities.

Overall, I would rate Google App Engine a nine out of ten. Google invests heavily in its different tools, making them state-of-the-art, with competitive pricing. My good relationship as partners allows me to offer favorable prices and receive a lot of technical support.
The product simplifies app development processes since once the local development is completed, my company has a common configuration in place where we can specify the requirements to run an application, after which we need to do a one-click GCP deployment for the entire application. In general, the two offer managed deployment options, so we don't have to worry about deployment. In my company, we just configure the servers and check if anything needs to be containerized, after which GCP handles everything for us. A project where Google App Engine scalability was essential was when, recently, my company was involved with Golang to build a web application, after which deploying that application on Google App Engine was really easy. In my company, we also had a Django application in Python, and it was easy to deploy. As my company deals with small-scale projects, the automated scaling feature of Google App Engine is not something we thought about. I wouldn't recommend the product to others unless the potential end users use GCP and have a word with their vendors about their plans. One specific recommendation from me would be that the product's potential uses should stick with a particular vendor. If someone wants a product that is easy to deploy and scalable, then multiple options are available in the market. The product integrates very well with other Google solutions. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.
The use case where the product has significantly improved the development was attached to one of the scenarios where one of our company's customers wanted a tool to deal with continuous integration and deployments in the infrastructure. In the aforementioned scenario, my company used Google App Engine to deploy an infrastructure for our customer, and the product helped solve a lot of problems, reducing the time required to complete the project by half. Google App Engine has supported the need for scalable applications for our company's customers since whenever the tool was used, it used to get integrated with a lot of new technologies, like Chef, Puppet, and with some of the APIs, after which my company was able to deploy the product on an on-premises model for our customer. The feature of Google App Engine that I found to be the most essential for workflows is the high availability and scalability. The serverless aspect of Google App Engine has benefited our company's customers since it has reduced the time required for the implementation of their applications. The tool also has been able to solve conflicts between developers and the people in operations. The tool offers the convenience of time and ease of implementation, which has improved and solved a lot of problems. The bug-fixing process in the tool is very fast compared to the manual thing. The product does not require any maintenance. The advantages of the product revolve around the fact that it offers a lot of depth, ease of management, scalability, and is fast. Developing and hosting applications is possible with Google App Engine. Google App Engine is more beneficial for those who deal in e-commerce. I guess Google App Engine is a very good tool for infrastructures or when you need some machines that work twenty-four hours, seven days a week. Google App Engine is like a FaaS tool for its users, so users don't need to maintain any infrastructure, thereby drastically reducing their costs. Google App Engine is a very user-friendly, accessible, highly scalable product that allows users to opt for a pay-as-you-go model. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

I work as a presales cloud architect. I am a generalist. I am not a specialist. I know the product, its features, and how to integrate it with other products from Google. People considering the solution must be careful because if they don't tune it, they will pay a lot of money. It's not for new buyers. We have to know what exactly we're doing. People should try to buy the product with the help of a specialist. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
App Engine was built to handle a particular use case which is web applications and that's what it's good at. For applications running in containers or requiring Linux dependencies or applications requiring multiple processes, App Engine is not really your go-to product. You would choose a different solution for that. I rate this solution seven out of 10.
Google App Engine is a Platform-as-a-Service (Paas) provider that equips web application developers with all the resources and tools that they need to develop, test, and run their applications on Google's infrastructure. Everything is built into the kit, so with one download of the SDK, you'll be well on your way to first-rate apps.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate Google App Engine an eight. Keep in mind the customization, pricing, and cold starting issues.
