Hey Al, As you'll read from my original post, the docs, and from Alex's follow-up, Endpoints is a service available on either App Engine or the middle-ground of App Engine <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/> on the one hand and Compute Engine <https://cloud.google.com/compute/> on the other: Managed VMs <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/managed-vms/>. As you'll read from my original post, you'll want to run MongoDB on a Compute Engine instance.
Likely you'll want to have an API hosted on App Engine instances <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/endpoints/> that allows your mobile app to easily and meaningfully communicate with your application logic, through the methods of the API. Behind the scenes, the API methods will perform queries against your MongoDB Compute Engine instance. If you have any further questions about the platform, I suggest consulting the docs, keeping in mind or reading again what I wrote above. This should suffice for a broad overview of the various services and aspects of the platform.
