Google App Engine vs Tomcat -


i able create basic 'hello world' program.

when tried understand difference between cloud , server learned cloud have access virtual instance created exclusively , free choose , install software of choice.why google app engine(gae) used tomcat not used. major differences between gae , tomcat?

cloud google cloud platform @ case. app engine 1 of services.

app engine platform build apps on top of it. platform service or paas. simplifies process of building scalable application, , should use when understand need , understand principles of scalable application.

tomcat java web container, , there're many alternatives. google app engine using jetty. use tomcat using flexible vm, though doesn't make sense.

app engine not web server, it's set of services helps build scalable app. includes memcache, datastore, task queue, images api, deployments tools , versioning, cdn static files, , important automatic scale.

actually aren't limited app engine on google cloud platform. there more traditional service, own server in cloud, called compute engine. there can run tomcat or else.
