Google Cloud Platform

With Google Cloud Platform, you can build, test, and deploy applications on Google's highly-scalable and reliable infrastructure for your web, mobile, and backend solutions.


Google Cloud Platform offers four hosting options for Java developers. It's important to consider which environment is closest to your needs, but also keep in mind that many apps will need to take advantage of two or more of these hosting options.
Google App Engine is a great place to start. App Engine is a platform-as-a-service for web applications and mobile backends. It can automatically scale your application in response to traffic. There are no servers for you to provision or maintain. Alternatively, if you're interested in using virtual machines or containers directly you can jump to the tutorials on using Compute Engine.
App Engine has two environments: the App Engine standard environment and the App Engine flexible environment. Each environment has tradeoffs. You can read about the general differences between the two environments in the App Engine documentation.
Standard environmentFlexible environment
Limited free tier.No free tier.
Java 7 only.Java 8 only.
Sandboxed, supports a subset of Java libraries.Docker-based, any Java package that works on Debian Linux.

Defining Your Web Hosting Needs Before choosing your web host, you’ll need to think about your requirements. Consider the following concerns and decide the importance of each item on a scale of 0 to 10 (with 0 being not at all important and 10 being critically important): Speed  — H

Google Photos can now stabilize all your shaky phone camera video

G oogle Photos is where all my photos are. Long ago I was a man of SmugMug, and then Flickr, and then at some point spent days and days copying years of images to iCloud Photo Library before eventually disregarding that and switching to Google. What can I say? I’m a simple person who can be easily delighted and swayed by automatic GIF creation and reliable backups. And Google Photos keeps getting better. Here’s the latest example: now the mobile app can automatically stabilize videos in your camera roll with a tap. A lot of flagship smartphones offer optical image stabilization when shooting video, a hardware feature that helps keep footage smooth. Others, like Google’s Pixel, use software to try and stabilize jerky movements. Putting stabilization inside the Google Photos app could enhance results further if you’re already working with hardware OIS, or improve recordings significantly if your phone lacks any means of steadying things out of the box.
