Manjeet Singh Senior Manager - Engineering in Engineering at Hike Messenger (Internet, 51-200 employees) Chose Google App Engine It's the manageability of the Google App Engine which made it a better option in our case. It's quite straightforward to deploy on App-Engine. No worries for monitoring setup Incentivized Helpful? Kadu Barral SRE in Information Technology at SulAmerica Seguros (Insurance, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Google App Engine You can create and scale Kubernetes clusters quickly, but you have to keep an eye on that cluster. In-App Engine, you don't have to worry about infrastructure, but in some scenarios, Kubernetes fits better. Incentivized Helpful?

Darshan YS Senior Computer Vision Scientist in Research & Development at Verrix (Biotechnology, 11-50 employees) Chose Google App Engine Google App Engine is very easy to use and mostly up to date makes it compatible with all old and new devices.

Verified User Chose Google App Engine The two giants are Google and Amazon. Both are very similar however Google App Engine allows you to deploy your web applications through platforms like Python where as if you're using AWS, you have full control on the operating system services. Google is good because you pay as … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google App Engine We were on another much smaller cloud provider and decided to make the switch for several reasons - stability, breadth of services, and security. In reviewing options, GCP provided the best mixtures of meeting our needs while also balancing the overall cost of the service as … Incentivized Helpful? Joshua Dickson Director of Engineering in Engineering at NorthOut (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Google App Engine We commonly decide between App Service, Elastic Beanstalk, and App Engine. Normally, we do not have a strong preference for the services, it really comes down to whether or not there are other factors drawing us toward a particular platform. In the case of App Engine, it is a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google App Engine I think that Microsoft and Amazon are simply investing more in their offerings, and there are a bunch of cool PaaS solutions out there as well. Google App Engine is solid, and is probably the right choice for some projects. But ultimately one should evaluate each platform … Incentivized Helpful? Robert Christian Director of Platform Architecture and Chief Architect, Liaison ALLOY in Engineering at Liaison Technologies (Information Technology and Services, 501-1000 employees) Chose Google App Engine Azure - too Windows.

Incentivized Helpful? Jonah Dempcy Web & Mobile Developer in Engineering at Bluefire Productions (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Google App Engine AWS and Heroku are both great, and I use them both extensively for different projects.

Andre Masson Product Design/Development Engineer in Information Technology at ACCEO Solutions (Real Estate, 11-50 employees) Chose Google App Engine With GAE it's a matter of "code your app and deploy it".

In App Engine you don't have to worry about it at all, just ship your code and it will run. Incentivized Helpful?
