App Engine Down Under

Earlier this month the Google App Engine team celebrated coming out of preview to become a fully-supported Google product.

With this major milestone we would like to showcase the Sydney App Engine team who have been working hard on App Engine for more than three years.

App Engine, Google’s cloud application platform, enables developers to build and host web apps on the same systems that power Google applications. That means anyone can quickly develop and deploy web applications with simple administration and no need to worry about hardware, patches or backups.

App Engine serves over 2 billion pages a day and powers not only popular apps like the the official Royal Wedding website but also Australian businesses like Ray White and Shoes of Prey.

The Australian App Engine team includes software and site reliability engineers, developer relations and product and technical management. We work on new features, keep the platform running smoothly and support and engage the developer community.

For all those that haven’t built a web application using App Engine before, you can see how easy it is by following our Getting Started Guide.
