Pla@orm  as  a  Service  -­‐  Google  App   Engine     Arun  Shanker  Prasad   February,  2013    
Pla@orm  as  a  Service  (PaaS)  -­‐  What  is  it?   PaaS  is  a  category  of  cloud  compuCng  services  that  provide  a  compuCng   plaGorm  and  a  soluCon  stack  as  a  service.     Along  with  soPware  as  a  service  (SaaS)  and  infrastructure  as  a  service  (IaaS),  it  is  a  service   model  of  cloud  compuRng.  In  this  model,  the  consumer  creates  the  soPware  using  tools   and/or  libraries  from  the  provider/vendor.  The  consumer  also  controls  soPware   deployment  and  configuraRon  seVngs.  The  provider  provides  the  networks,  servers,   storage  and  other  services.  PaaS  offerings  facilitate  the  deployment  of  applicaRons   without  the  cost  and  complexity  of  buying  and  managing  the  underlying  hardware  and   soPware  and  provisioning  hosRng  capabiliRes.  
PaaS  -­‐  Key  Features   •  Services  to  develop,  test,  deploy,  host  and  maintain  applicaRons   in  the  same  integrated  development  environment   •  Web-­‐based  management/administraRon  consoles   o  Reducing  the  need  for  system  administraRon/dev  ops   o  Resource  uRlizaRon  monitoring  capabiliRes   o  Easily  idenRfy  bo[lenecks   •  MulR-­‐tenant  architecture   •  Certain  PaaS  offerings  a[empt  to  support  use  of  the  applicaRon   by  many  concurrent  users,  by  providing  concurrency   management,  scalability,  fail-­‐over  and  security   •  Support  for  development  team  collaboraRon   •  Pay  for  what  you  use  billing  model

More  on  Google  App  Engine    
What  is  Google  App  Engine   Google  App  Engine  lets  you  run  web  applicaRons  on   Google's  infrastructure.  App  Engine  applicaRons  are  easy   to  build,  easy  to  maintain,  and  easy  to  scale  as  your  traffic   and  data  storage  needs  grow.  With  App  Engine,  there  are   no  servers  to  maintain:  You  just  upload  your  applicaRon,   and  it's  ready  to  serve  your  users.  
The  ApplicaRon  Environment   Google  App  Engine  makes  it  easy  to  build  an  applicaRon  that  runs  reliably,   even  under  heavy  load  and  with  large  amounts  of  data.  App  Engine   includes  the  following  features;   •  dynamic  web  serving,  with  full  support  for  common  web  technologies   •  persistent  storage  with  queries,  sorRng  and  transacRons   •  automaRc  scaling  and  load  balancing   •  APIs  for  authenRcaRng  users  and  sending  email  using  Google   Accounts   •  a  fully  featured  local  development  environment  that  simulates  Google   App  Engine  on  your  computer   Your  applicaRon  can  run  in  one  of  three  runRme  environments:  the  Go   environment,  the  Java  environment,  and  the  Python  environment,  which   gives  you  a  choice  of  Python  2.5  or  Python  2.7.  
Why  App  Engine?   Pros   •  Easy  to  Get  Started   •  AutomaRc  Scalability   •  The  Reliability,  Performance,  and  Security  of  Google's   Infrastructure   •  Costs  less   •  There  is  a  generous  free  usage  quota  and  you  only  pay  for  what   you  use   Cons   •  Sandboxed  environment  limits  the  scope  of  your  applicaRon   •  Although  we  can  pay  for  certain  addiRonal  resources,  there  are   some  that  have  a  hard  limit  
Why  App  Engine?   TradiRonal  Way   •  Write  your  code   •  Configure  &  Deploy  Web  server  (Apache/Tomcat)   •  Configure  &  Deploy  SQL  database   •  Maintain  all  of  these  infrastructure   •  Cost  of  building  and  maintaining  the  infrastructure     App  Engine  Way   •  Write  your  code   •  A  set  of  simple  configuraRons  to  let  App  Engine  know  how  to   serve  your  applicaRon   That's  it....
