Google App Engine (GAE) is the core engine for a specialized web application in-house product. The web application allows the sales department staff to produce reporting, follow up regarding multiple deposit amounts, do the link between Google Drive (as a hosting cloud) and electronic signatures of clients. The web app is also responsible for the "after sales" process and also allows us to maintain the customers' database.

I use it for in house education application. We implemented it with Django. It controls our education management system. We use Django and Google F1 database. Sometimes we have problems with sending emails and reaching quota. The control panel do not reach the quota but we can send email. After that we aware that controls update information very slow. Except for sending email everything works very good.

We use Google Apps across our entire organization for email, calendaring, collaboration ( via Google Docs, Sheets, Sites, Hangouts, etc…) directory, archiving and retention, as well as social and video delivery (YouTube). The primary use of Google Apps in our organization is for corporate email. The platform is stable and reliable. Our users are familiar with the interface, keeping training requirements low.

Google App Engine is used for hosting an application by one of the teams in our department. The application is responsible for handling file storage and access levels for two major components that are owned by two different teams. Google Cloud Storage is used for hosting these files.

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.

App Engine allows organizations to leverage the Google Apps APIs and get easy access to some functionality that is not available the standard Google Apps users. For example, the ability to maintain your user's meta data, such as their business title, department, work address, work phone number, cell phone number etc. These are not available in the Google Apps Control Panel, but with some coding on Google App Engine, you can create the interface that allows users to self-manage their own meta data. This just one example of leveraging Google App Engine to complement a Google Apps rollout.
