In the last lesson, we looked at the Cloud Run hello world deployment. As it is a managed service we just had to focus on packaging our code correctly and then it is piece of cake to deploy it.

In this lesson, we will learn about one more serverless platform App Engine. This is a managed environment for developers who wanted to deploy code from their IDE itself. Google launched the App engine in 2008 at that time it was a great tool for developers to have a one-click deployment thing. So, we will take a brief look at App Engine.
Types#
App Engine comes with 2 types of Environments.

Standard environment
Flexible environment
Let’s look at both of them in detail.

Standard environment#
This is the first one with which Google launched there the first version of App Engine. The App Engine standard environment is based on container instances running on Google’s infrastructure. Containers are preconfigured with one of several available runtimes.

There are some predefined instance classes and categorized as “F” and “B” (Frontend and Backend). Well, we don’t have to worry about them as they are handled by Google when auto-scaling the app. But Google provides an option to override these default settings.

Runtimes supported:

Node
PHP
Python
Java
Ruby
Go
.NET
Well, the standard environment has some limitations like,

No SSH
No 3rd party binaries
No Write to Local Disk
And obviously no custom runtimes.
So, to overcome this we have another environment.
