Google App Engine is a great platform to cater to the needs of different size organizations from small businesses to enterprise levels. Due to its great support and the large community, it can be deployed with minimum administration. It is also a great choice for businesses requiring an extra level of security.

Google App Engine is well suited for a multitude of scenarios. Although it can be harder to adopt then something like a 'lift and shift' approach to Compute Engine and using virtual machines, App Engine is well worth it. It is perfect for application and infrastructure modernization and it's power really comes from its integration with the rest of the suite of GCP products.

Google App Engine lives up to its name!

Google App Engine is great for Kubernetes, since it's very stable and new releases come quickly. Google Marketplace saved a lot of time if standard open sources applications like Moodle has to be deployed and tested quickly.
Google App Engine is not good for beginners in cloud hosting, since it's hard to configure.
