When working on Google Cloud, you will naturally require access to a cloud environment. In the upcoming chapters, we will learn how to build App Engine applications that reside in Google Cloud.
As we now have a good understanding of the various components that make up a Google App Engine (GAE) environment, in this chapter we will look at how to use GAE to engineer applications that meet defined requirements. We will begin by building a simple app to demonstrate the process of deploying code on App Engine. We will then learn how to perform application updates. Finally, we will explore how to use the features of Stackdriver Logging to assist with the analysis of defects. All of these lessons will be accompanied by examples and activities so that you can apply these GAE concepts and principles on your own.
