  1. Programming Languages: Anvil supports Python for server-side code, while Google App Engine supports multiple programming languages like Python, Java, Go, and Node.js.
  2. Deployment and Scalability: Anvil simplifies deployment by providing hosting as a service, while Google App Engine allows for more granular control over deployment configurations and scalability options.
  3. Pricing Model: Anvil offers a freemium model with a free tier for small projects, while Google App Engine follows a pay-as-you-go model where users only pay for the resources they consume.
  4. Database Options: Anvil integrates with PostgreSQL as the default database, while Google App Engine provides a NoSQL database called Datastore or allows users to connect to external SQL databases.
  5. Security and Compliance: Google App Engine provides built-in security features and compliance certifications for enterprise-level applications, while Anvil may require additional configurations for advanced security requirements.
  6. Community and Support: Anvil has a smaller community compared to Google App Engine, which has a larger user base and more extensive documentation and support resources available.
