Chapter 9
Computing with App Engine

THIS CHAPTER COVERS THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVE OF THE GOOGLE ASSOCIATE CLOUD ENGINEER CERTIFICATION EXAM:

•  3.3 Deploying and implementing App Engine and Cloud Functions resources

 This chapter describes how to deploy App Engine Standard applications. We begin by reviewing the structure of an App Engine application and then examine how to specify an application configuration. Then, we will turn our attention to tuning App Engine applications through scaling and traffic splitting. We also discuss App Engine application versions along the way.

Google App Engine was originally designed to run applications in language-specific environments. Since the introduction of App Engine, Google has introduced App Engine Flexible, which can be used to deploy custom runtimes in containers. This chapter describes how to deploy applications to the original App Engine environment, known as App Engine Standard.
