Fellow App Engine Gurus, We're happy to announce the next generation of App Engine Managed Backends. These Backends utilize the App Engine VM Runtime, allowing developers to run Backends on Compute Engine VMs. By building on top of Compute Engine VMs, developers can:
- take advantage of higher CPU and memory - rely on longer-lived processes - utilize a local filesystem - communicate via native network stacks - execute external processes - access the entire JRE - upload arbitrary Python extensions Given that these are App Engine Backends, you can still use all the App Engine APIs to access the existing managed services (Datastore, Task Queues, Memcache, etc.) Updating existing Backends to run on Compute Engine VMs is a simple config change: app.yaml -------- application: app-id version: v1 runtime: python27 *vm: true* * * *manual_scaling:* * instances: 1* That’s all you need to get started. We’ll pick a deafult VM machine type and spin everything up your behalf. Of course there other options that you can set (including machine type) and these are documented in the Getting Started Guide<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VH1oVarfKILAF_TfvETtPPE3TFzIuWqsa22PtkRkgJ4/edit#> . In order to build a great product, we need quality feedback from brave early adopters. If you’re interested test driving, please sign-up at the link below and we’ll take care of the rest.
