Development using the Google App Engine
Google App Engine enables you to build and host web apps on the same systems that power Google applications. App Engine offers fast development and deployment; simple administration, with no need to worry about hardware, patches or backups; and effortless scalability.
Google App Engine allows
companies and developers to focus on
business issues and what the program
needs to accomplish. Some key
advantages of using Google App
Engine are:
- Your own server doesn’t suck up the bandwidth, while your visitors will appreciate a faster site.
- Updating it is an absolute breeze. Each time you update a file (or a batch of files) you need only run appcfg.py to see the changes appear on your site.
- App Engine also allows multiple people to work on one application. If you want a friend to be able to upload files to your site you can let him do so without giving him usernames and passwords — all he needs is his own Google account. App Engine also gives you a log of all actions taken by collaborators, so you can see who’s made updates, and when.
- App Engine offers simple version control
