University Final Year Project Review
I used Google App Engine in my final year project to store news stories relating to crime in a database and then plot them on a Google Map depending on whether they were "crime" stories or not.
- Database management
- User Friendly
- Excellent GUI
- Provide webinars
- Implement modules in college and Universities to use the product
- Give regular seminars to students and businesses
- Not sure as I used it for a final year project in University
It is easy to use and saves a lot of time for programmers. I really enjoyed querying databases and being able to see very easily what I had done and still had to do. It was easy for testing and quickly changing something and instantly seeing the results.
Yes
I looked at some Natural language processors and ended up creating a "trigger word list" with Google App Engine instead, this made it more customizable for me and my project. Using my own list of crime words made me more confident in the results I was receiving from the data I was collecting.

Usability is of upmost importance I think, also the visual display needs to be user friendly and easy to navigate otherwise it can add to your work load and sometimes turn you off recommending it to peers or colleagues in your work environment.

Good App Engine (GAE)
The Google App Engine solution is helping an entirely new category of applications that process data in real-time and at scale very robustly. It has faster, easier, more detailed simulations and solutions for all cloud related requirements. We use Google App Engine to develop and deploy both internal and public web applications. The APIs for accessing the datastore are very easy to use.
- The APIs for accessing the datastore are very easy to use.
- Implementing text indexing and search related applications perform better on Google App Engine compared to other app engines.
- Reliable NoSQL datastore, including atomic transactions and a query engine.
- Developers have read-only access to the filesystem on Google App Engine.
- Google App Engine limits the maximum rows returned from an entity get to 1000 rows per Datastore call.
- Not suitable for CPU intensive calculations.

- Increased employee efficiency.
- Less infrastructure maintenance time.
- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
The immediate benefits of Google App Engine is that it is essentially maintenance free as it relates to infrastructure (scalable web server and database administration). Google App Engine is more tailored to those developers that only want to focus on their applications and not the underlying system. In a way you can consider that developer friendly.

Use is based on client or project needs. It is used mainly as a cloud based API service so that corporate enterprise systems can leverage it internally or with other service dependent applications.
- Cloud based RESTful APIs
- Access to big data resources for reporting and analytics
- Custom Cloud web hosted applications
- Cost, speed, ease of adoption
- Implemented a custom company based web site using Vosao on GAE CMS
- Administration and management - more Azure like portal
- Better reporting on forecasted and actual usage via notifications.
- Better documentation, examples. More use case centric documentation.
- Effective employee adoption through ease of use.
- Effective integration to other java based frameworks.
- Time to market is very quick. Build, test, deploy and use.
- The GAE Whitelist for java is an important resource to know what works and what does not. So use it. It would also be nice for Google to expand on items that are allowed on GAE platform.
- Amazon Web Services,Microsoft Azure
- These products really only intersect with a small footprint.
- Azure is closest to what GAE provides as a PaaS
- Azure is certainly making greater 'in-roads' on the enterprise cloud adoption side of the business. Google has still work to do to come close to Microsoft's ability to adapt for the enterprise
- Now that GAE supports PHP, Python, Java and Go - it needs to expand its language use, such as C#, Ruby and others if it is to stay competitive in the market

Product Usability is off the charts. More advanced usage is where it starts to get a little tricky
Well that all really depends on the client needs in my business. If they are a java/python shop then it is a start for GAE usage. If the client is willing or potentially needs integration to other Google products and services then that is also a plus. It all depends on the client needs, aspirations and current skill sets.
