by Lukas Masuch, Henning Muszynski and Benjamin Raethlein Originally held on 'Karlsruhe Entwicklertag 2015' In this presentation we give an overview on several services of the Google Cloud Platform and showcase an Android application utilizing these technologies. We cover technologies, such as Google App Engine, Cloud Endpoints, Cloud Storage, Cloud Datastore and Google Cloud Messaging (GCM). We will talk about pitfalls, show meaningful code examples (in Java) and provide several tips and dev tools on how to get the most out of Google’s Cloud Platform.

Google Cloud Platform
Cloud Platform – Compute Container Engine: Run Docker container cluster on Google Cloud Platform – Container-as-a-Service App Engine: Deploy your code directly to a fully- managed platform - Platform-as-a-Service Compute Engine: Virtual machines hosted on Google's infrastructure - Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Cloud Platform – Storage Options Cloud Datastore: Store highly structured objects and query with SQL-like statements Cloud SQL: Full SQL support for an online transaction processing (OLTP) system Cloud Storage: Store immutable blobs larger than 10 MB, such as large images or videos Cloud BigTable: High-performance, extremely scalable NoSQL database, scales to billions of entries

1. Annotate 2. Generate 3. Run everywhere Cloud Endpoint REST has never been easier! Automatically generate client libraries to make wiring up the client to your backend easy. + Annotation based + Easy declaration of REST methods and services + support for local testing Really ?
Cloud Endpoint - Pitfalls What we should have known before Endpoint methods allow only one object as parameter 1 Enums are neither returnable nor allowed as parameters1..2..3 No native data types are returnable. Use Wrappers!int Getter / Setter require to be named same as the member variables. Otherwise duplicate methods are generated

Cloud Datastore & Cloud Storage Save everything in the cloud! Datastore: Store all entities Storage: Store all files Better database design vs. less data operations Cloud Storage: Convenient API for Images. Additional Servlet for Files needed. Manageable with an easy-to-use Interface on Google Cloud Console
