Google App Engine Support in Android Studio
Google App Engine Support in Android Studio - Cloud Tools for Android Studio — Google Cloud Platform
Google App Engine provides backends that can automatically scale up to handle millions of users and that are entirely managed for you, eliminating the need to purchase, configure, maintain, or administer servers. Millions of applications including Snapchat, Rovio, and Khan Academy run on App Engine.
Android Studio makes it easy to add an App Engine backend module to your Android project. Simply choose the type of App Engine backend you want and Android Studio will add the required code and dependencies to your project for a functioning, runnable backend that you can easily extend with the features you want, such as data storage.
Android Studio also lets you run and test the backend locally and debug it along with your Android app that uses the backend. When you're finished developing and are ready to deploy, you can use Android Studio to deploy your backend to so it can be accessed by all users of your app.
