Overall Satisfaction with Google App Engine
We use Google App Engine to house many of our mission-critical web applications with zero downtime. It solves the need to have 100% uptime with no added long term equipment costs and additional IT support staff.
- Ease to deploy.
- Flexible ability to scale to meet increases in users.
- Ability to program in various languages allowing for different development teams to work with it.
- The ability to only run web applications. If it could also run self-executing non-web based applications it could be used more heavily.
- It only allows the use of the Google Cloud store which limits the ability to use other cloud stores already in use in the enterprise.
- It's a closed API that can lock into being dependent entirely on Google. There are many open-source projects ongoing that can help to alleviate.
- App Engine has allowed to deploy critical applications without procuring new hardware and performing the set up/installation in a long period of time.
- We were able to release a cost savings of over 50K in a six month period based on not having to acquire hardware and adding support.
