Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.

GitHub

Google App Engine

Overview

GitHub is a place to share code with friends, co-workers, classmates, and complete strangers, helping individuals and teams to write faster, better code

Google App Engine is a fully managed serverless platform for building and deploying scalable web and mobile back ends. It supports languages like Node.js, Java, Ruby, C#, Go, Python, and PHP. With zero server management or configuration, developers can focus on coding while infrastructure is handled automatically. The service includes app versioning, integrated security features, firewall controls, and SSL/TLS certificates.

Pros

“We run pull requests through it daily for our backend services, and the review flow (inline comments, suggested changes, required approvals before merge) makes it easy to keep code quality high even when we're shipping fast.”

Kaynan S.

Software Engineer

“The platform improves visibility into code changes, simplifies collaboration between technical teams, and helps ensure deployments are organized and traceable.”

Dave R.

Manager

“GitHub provides a centralized platform for version control, pull requests, code reviews, issue tracking, and CI/CD automation, making the entire software development lifecycle more efficient.”

Himanshu G.

AI Engineer

Pros

“I love Google App Engine for its fully managed serverless architecture, which handles scaling, deployment, and infrastructure management effortlessly, letting me focus on the coding part.”

Abhishek K.

Programmer Analyst

“I like the google app engine that it helps me launching and running web application and access to world wide web where I can access anything available on the Internet.”

Kalpit G.

CEO

“For instance, with Spring, you add @Cacheable annotations to method which will automatically use in-memory cache + propagate to memcache through ehcache (yes, one line settings) - on GAE you will need to write it yourself.”

Appandai R.

Freelance

Cons

“GitHub has tried to simplify things over the years, but it still lacks a genuinely user-friendly, abstracted environment for non-developers who just need to collaborate on data or check progress.”

Mark C.

Membership Secretary, Trustee and Designer

“If wanting to use it with other things you have to have a public repo which can be a little annoying, for example if i want to use it with Claude, i need to make it public which i dont like”

Luke P.

Head of Support

“The UI can feel a little cluttered sometimes, especially when you’re jumping between repos, issues, and pull requests.”

Manuel V.

Primary Care Coordinator

Cons

“Debugging certain platform-specific issues can be challenging”

Khimson L.

IT admin

“The pricing cost may become challenging to anticipate for applications experiencing variable traffic, as expenses can escalate rapidly if not effectively controlled.”

Christy O.

Regional Network Performance Analyst

“It is not a perfect app as it sometimes the search results take more than 10 seconds.”
