This document provides an introduction to the Google Cloud Platform. It summarizes several key Google Cloud services including Google App Engine for building and hosting scalable web applications with no servers to manage, Google Compute Engine for running virtual machines on Google infrastructure, Google Cloud Storage for storing massive amounts of data, and Google BigQuery for interactive analysis of massive datasets at speed. It highlights how developers are using these services for applications like game analytics, infrastructure monitoring, advertising optimization, and sensor data analysis. The document emphasizes that the Google Cloud Platform provides scalability, flexibility and powerful services to developers at massive global scales.

19. Google Cloud Endpoints
APIs for Mobile and Web Backends Made Easy
(Experimental)

20. Cloud SQL
● Familiarity: MySQL 5.5
● Easy management: zero admin configuration
and backups
● Security: synchronous geo-replication
● Flexibility: only pay for access time

21. Search API
(Experimental)
Add Google-like full-text search to
your application

snippeting
● GeoSearch

22. Development Stacks
Java: also available:
+
GO

23. Google Compute Engine

24. High level view
● Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
● Virtual Machines running on Google Infrastructure
● Advanced performance, networking, scalability and security services
