I need to book homes. I need to show google map then agent place information of home on map using marker. When user come on web site they saw property listing on map. Is it possible to use google app engine? Can I use PHP or I need to use java?
You can use google maps with google app engine.
Here is a relevant link: http://wtp2.appspot.com/AppEngineMapDemo.htm
This demo uses the Google AppEngine as a data store for users to pin photos on a map with server side scripting in Python.
It also includes source.
You cannot use PHP (yet) on Google App Engine, but you can use Java, Go and Python.
Here are some geo-related samples: http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-samples/wiki/GoogleAppEngineSamples

I have been using Google Cloud Storage to save photos that users upload from a mobile app (built with flutter and firebase), recently I had the need to resize/transform images and I wanted to explore if it's possible to do it directly from google cloud storage!
I found this project https://github.com/albertcht/python-gcs-image that you have to deploy on google app engine and if you call it with a bucket and an image it returns a URL to a Google CDN I think (something like this http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/*).
I looked at the code in the repository and the only thing it does is to return the result of google.appengine.api.images.get_serving_url and I don't understand why I cannot get this serving_url directly from my dart code?
What is the difference between Google Cloud Storage and lh3.googleusercontent.com?? Can I make the same image processing directly from cloud storage?
It seems odd that I have to run an app engine app that just returns a URL?
What am I missing?
The lib use this api. It's in Python 2.7 which have a end of life the 01/01/2020.
Moreover, the image api is available only with AppEngine 1st generation (python 2.7) and not available for the 2nd generation (python 3).
All of this for not recommended you to use this.
The best design today is to perform the resize/crop when the file is uploaded and to store the result in Cloud Storage. Example here and here
Then, you only have to serve, from Cloud Storage, the resized/cropped images.
Look # Firebase Extensions, there is already such an Extension provided there
What I found is:
The Java, Python, and go Standard environments for Google App Engine
include the GAE Images API (Java, Python, which can resize, rotate,
flip, and crop an image, as well as return an image serving URL which
allows for client side transformations, similar to Cloudinary and
Imgix.
This matches my previous understanding and experience as well. serving_url is really convenient for image manipulations.
Having said that, as you correctly pointed out, it's first and foremost an AppEngine feature and will require you to use AppEngine in one way on another.
If it's not what you want, you can create a service that will crop your images and deploy it serverless. It's a lot less burdensome that having AppEngine service running 24/7. What's more, AWS had several pre-baked templates to do just that - crop images that can be deployed in a couple of clicks.
If you are, like myself, interested in Google Cloud solution I can offer a similar function that I wrote. It can be deployed in Cloud Run as-is. See details in my other answer.
With it you can not only resize the images for mobile, but also map your own domain to the Cloud Run function and put it behind any CDN you like, which potentially can be faster that service from Google Storage. You can find plenty info on the Internet about why full-fledged CND is better than just bare Google Storage.
I am new in vaadin and developing a web project so want to know if i do't use Google App Engine as my project's run time environment so that am able to use Google all APIs such as:
*Calender API
*Contact API
*Drive API
* and also other which google provide :
Google APIs
As i get to know that GAE has lot of limitations.
Please suggest me for the structure design of an Enterprise project with
Maven+vaadin+Runtime Environment(Jboss)+Eclipse+MySQL
Google APIs does not require your application to be running on Google App Engine unless of course you’re trying to use an App Engine specific API like this.
If you’re seeking suggestions on how to structure your project using Google App Engine, you may want to do so in official App Engine Google Group as such questions can be considered too broad on stackoverflow.
We got a couple millions data in the current GAE project using Google Cloud store. Mostly GPS point information. We want to be able to use all these GPS points in another demo instance, which is hosted in another GAE instance. Anyway we can do it?
Using Golang + Google App Engine
There is a Google Cloud Datastore API that you can use to access your Datastore data from any other deployment, including a different App Engine app. It's not available in Go, so you will have to mix in some Python or Java.
I have been developing an event registration form with Google Apps script. The form is required to add the data entries to a Google spreadsheet and process orders with Google Wallet. I have tried using HTMLServices, but it did not work. Is there any way to integrate Google Wallet dynamically in the Google Apps Script service? If not, will I need to use the App Engine? And what language would be best?
You'll need a server component to handle callbacks from Google after the Wallet transactions. The server handler must be able to process XML or JSON depending on the API used.
If you're using the Google Checkout API, have a look at:
https://developers.google.com/checkout/developer/Google_Checkout_XML_API_Notification_API
https://developers.google.com/checkout/samplecode
If you're using the Wallet for digital goods API, have a look at:

There is any geocoding/routing service which runs on Google App Engine? (besides the Google Maps API)
App Engine doesn't have built-in geocoding or routing, so you're left with two options: Load map data into App Engine and geocode/route locally, or call out to a web service.
The former isn't a particularly good use of App Engine (or particularly practical). The latter works just fine - but means that the selection of GIS services available is exactly the same for App Engine as it is for every other platform. You mention one yourself - the Google Maps API.
If you search how to find a user location you can look here:
http://googleajaxsearchapi.blogspot.com/2008/08/where-is-my-current-user.html
You can create dynamically user id, put it into ajax variable and send id back to server with geolocation described in link above.
