Q2
What is Google App Engine (GAE)? Contrast App Engine Standard with App Engine Flexible.
💬Answer
Google App Engine (GAE) is a managed PaaS platform designed for building and deploying web applications quickly without operational overhead.
- App Engine Standard: Runs code inside secure, sandboxed language runtimes (Java, Python, Go, Node.js). It scales from 0 to thousands of instances in milliseconds, making it highly cost-effective for variable traffic.
- App Engine Flexible: Runs custom Docker containers on GCE virtual machines. It has slower boot times and cannot scale down to zero, but supports any language, binary, or custom library.
