Google App Engine is a fully managed, serverless platform-as-a-service within Google Cloud for building and deploying web apps and APIs without managing infrastructure. It offers a Standard environment (language-specific sandboxed runtimes for Python, Node.js, Java, Go, PHP, and Ruby with automatic scaling to zero and a free quota tier) and a Flexible environment (apps in Docker containers on managed VMs, with no free tier). It suits developers and enterprises wanting auto-scaling app hosting integrated with the wider Google Cloud ecosystem. As a Google Cloud service it inherits GCP's compliance posture, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA (via BAA), and GDPR.
