Hey Dhandapani, The commands you showed only start the Development server running, which emulates the production environment your app will run in. It runs your app as an HTTP server on the local machine (in this case, a Compute Engine (GCE) instance). You can use a browser on the instance (if you get a window manager running on the instance and connect via VNC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing> or RDP <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol>), or you can expose port 8000 on the GCE machine, using GCE Firewalls <https://cloud.google.com/solutions/connecting-securely>, and run the dev_appserver.py command with --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 to allow connections from remote machines to the devserver process. If you use the Firewall to ensure that only your developers' computers can connect their browsers to the instance on that port, you'll be able to start the devserver and test.
The problem of course with just using one machine is that only one of you can start and stop the devserver on that specific port at a time. You could have each your own port, but it starts to look like this is very over-engineered. The simplest solution, if you want to avoid the complexity above, is having each developer be responsible for keeping track of the version of the SDK they use to develop with. I hope this helps clarify things. Let me know if you have any questions as it seems you're new to the platform and we're here to help users no matter what stage of experience they're at. We're happy to assist!
