Google App engine

If you are looking for a scalable hosting solution for your website and server application, then the Google App engine is a very good choice. It supports various languages such as Java, PHP, Go, Python, and even some frameworks such as Django in Python and CodeIgniter in PHP with minimal refactoring. Other frameworks such as Flask and Laravel can also be hosted on Google App Engine but require modification in the framework to be Google Cloud compatible.

In App engine, applications and storage are kept separate. Applications cannot write to files within the application folder; they must be written to either Cloud Datastore or Cloud Storage. User-uploaded contents on a website, such as profile pictures and so on, should be stored in Google Cloud Storage buckets.

To create an App engine instance, click on App Engine in the left-hand-side menu under the Compute category. Choose a programming language of your choice. This demo uses PHP as the language and creates an application on App engine using the guided tutorial. The tutorial gets the code from GitHub and deploys it on the App engine instance. Copy and paste the commands in the Cloud Shell command prompt, and deploy the application on the App engine:
