For those who are still in the dark, Google https://www.programmerfish.com/category/app-engine-google/' target='_blank'>App Engine is Google’s Cloud offering. It’s like a cloud OS which allows developers access to Google’s infrstructure which they can utilize to host their own apps in the cloud. What’s the difference in hosting on a cloud compared with off the shelf hosting providers? Scale. This defines cloud. You don’t have to worry when spikes in traffic come. All you need to worry about is your application and that’s it! No infrastructure engineers to hire or anything.
