Pros and cons of Google App Engine

 Benefits of Using App Engine


       1. All Time Availability

When you develop and deploy your web applications on the cloud, you enable remote access for your applications. Considering the impact of COVID-19 on businesses, Google App Engine is the right choice that lets the developers develop applications remotely, while the cloud service manages the infrastructure needs.


2. Ensure Faster Time to Market

For your web applications to succeed, ensuring faster time to market is imperative as the requirements are likely to change if the launch time is extended. Using Google App Engine is as easy as it can get for developers.

3. Easy to Use Platform

The developers only require to write code. With zero configuration and server management, you eliminate all the burden to manage and deploy the code.

4. Increased Scalability

Scalability is synonymous with growth — an essential factor that assures success and competitive advantage. The good news is that the Google App Engine cloud development platform is automatically scalable. Whenever the traffic to the web application increases, GAE automatically scales up the resources, and vice-versa.


5. Smart Pricing

The major concern of organizations revolves around how much does Google App Engine cost? For your convenience, Google App Engine has a daily and a monthly billing cycle.


Cons of App Engine


1)Developers have read-only access to the filesystem on App Engine.


2)App Engine can only execute code called from an HTTP request.


3)Users may upload arbitrary Python modules, but only if they are pure-Python; C and Pyrex modules are not supported.


4)App Engine limits the maximum rows returned from an entity get to 1000 rows per Datastore call. 


5)Java applications cannot create new threads.
