Google App Engine + Spring Boot Developer Guide

Spring Boot on Google App Engine

What is Google App Engine?

Google App Engine is a fully managed serverless platform that lets you build and deploy Java applications

without managing infrastructure. It supports autoscaling, versioning, traffic splitting, and integrates deeply

with other GCP services.

Standard vs Flexible Environment

Standard Environment:

- Supports Java 11/17

- Uses predefined runtime

- Autoscaling and cost-effective for small apps

Flexible Environment:

- Runs Docker containers

- Full control over runtime, libraries, and resources

- Ideal for apps needing native libraries or custom configurations

Deploying Spring Boot on App Engine

Steps to deploy your app using Google Cloud CLI:

# Step 1: Install Google Cloud SDK and initialize


gcloud init

# Step 2: Create app.yaml in root directory


runtime: java17
instance_class: F2

# Step 3: Deploy the app


gcloud app deploy

# Step 4: Open in browser


gcloud app browse

Spring Boot Setup for App Engine

Your Spring Boot project should be built with Gradle or Maven. Make sure to package your app as a JAR.

# Example build command


./mvnw package

# JAR will be in: target/*.jar

Integrating with GCP Services

- Cloud SQL: Use JDBC + IAM for secure DB connections

- Pub/Sub: Event-driven services with async messaging

- Cloud Storage: Store files, logs, and images

- Secret Manager: Secure your API keys and secrets

Scaling and Performance

- App Engine autoscaling based on request count and CPU

- Version control allows blue/green deployments

- Instance classes define CPU/RAM limits

- Use Cloud Monitoring for observability

Best Practices

- Split services: Use modules for microservices architecture

- Use environment variables or Secret Manager for config

- Limit cold start times with preloading (Flexible only)

- Automate with GitHub Actions or Cloud Build CI/CD
