You will learn about challenges of building applications that can serve hundreds of thousands of users, and how you can prepare for them as a developer. And more importantly - you will learn how to harness the power of App Engine - Platform as a Service, run by Google, so you can focus on your application's features, not on managing infrastructure that runs your app. Let Google run and scale the infrastructure and do what you do best - write code!

However, to use App Engine effectively, you have to learn how it works, and this is exactly what this course will teach! You will also learn the best practices of using Cloud Endpoints that allow you to easily create API services and make them accessible to iOS, Android and Javascript clients. They allow you to automatically generate client libraries to make wiring up the frontend easy. And there are some nifty built-in features, like denial-of-service protection and OAuth 2.0 support.

SaveAccording to inferred feedback points, learners say this course provides a positive introduction to building scalable Python applications using Google App Engine and Cloud Endpoints. Students found the focus on core concepts and practical, hands-on coding beneficial for understanding the platform. However, some potential feedback points suggest the use of outdated tools like Maven and Eclipse can make setup cumbersome and feel less modern. The course likely requires a strong pre-existing Python and web development background. It is primarily relevant for those planning to work within the Google Cloud Platform ecosystem.
