Which languages and frameworks are supported?

App Engine supports Node.js, Python (including FastAPI and Django), PHP (including WordPress and Laravel) and Go. Other technologies can be deployed using a Dockerfile.

Are TLS certificates managed automatically?

Yes. Suburban Edge issues and renews certificates for the default subdomain and for any custom domain directed to the application.

Can an application connect to a managed database?

Yes. A Managed Database in the same region can be connected by adding its connection string as an environment variable. Traffic remains on the private network.

What is the difference between an application pod and shared hosting?

Application pods are built from Git and are intended for web applications and APIs. Shared hosting provides a file-based environment for WordPress, Laravel and corporate websites, managed through a browser file manager.

App Engine

Name: Suburban Cloud App Engine
Brand: Suburban Cloud

App Engine is a managed application platform that builds and runs web applications and APIs directly from a Git repository. Suburban manages the underlying servers, runtimes and TLS certificates, allowing your team to concentrate on the application itself.

Overview

App Engine supports widely used languages and frameworks as well as custom container builds. Each deployment is built from a specified branch, recorded as a release with its own build log, and served through Suburban Edge with a valid TLS certificate. Shared hosting is also available for websites and content management systems that do not require a build pipeline.

Getting Started

1.Connect a Git repository and select the branch to deploy.
2.Select a runtime and, where required, specify build and start commands.
3.Push changes to deploy. App Engine builds each release and issues a TLS certificate automatically.
