Google App Engine (often referred to by the acronym GAE or simply App Engine) is a cloud computing platform as a service for developing and hosting web applications in Google-managed data centers. Applications are sandboxed and run across multiple servers.[2] App Engine supports automatic scaling for web applications allocating more resources to the web application for handling additional demand as the amount of requests increases for an application.[3]

Google App Engine primarily supports Go, PHP, Java, Python, Node.js, .NET, and Ruby applications, although it can also support other languages via "custom runtimes".[4] The service is free up to a certain level of consumed resources and only in standard environments, and it is not available in flexible environments. Fees are charged for additional storage, bandwidth, or instance hours required by the application.[5] It was first released as a preview in April 2008 and came out of preview in September 2011.
