Google App Engine vs DataStax Constellation: What are the differences?

What is Google App Engine? Build web applications on the same scalable systems that power Google applications. Google has a reputation for highly reliable, high performance infrastructure. With App Engine you can take advantage of the 10 years of knowledge Google has in running massively scalable, performance driven systems. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow.

What is DataStax Constellation? Cassandra as a Service on AWS/GCP. It is a cloud platform that delivers a number of services designed to make building modern database applications in the cloud quick, simple, and cost effective. The first two services in Constellation are DataStax Apache Cassandra as a Service and DataStax Insights.

Google App Engine and DataStax Constellation belong to "Platform as a Service" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Google App Engine are:

  • Zero to sixty: Scale your app automatically without worrying about managing machines.
  • Supercharged APIs: Supercharge your app with services such as Task Queue, XMPP, and Cloud SQL, all powered by the same infrastructure that powers the Google services you use every day.
  • You're in control: Manage your application with a simple, web-based dashboard allowing you to customize your app's performance.

On the other hand, DataStax Constellation provides the following key features:

  • Simplify and accelerate data-driven application development while eliminating the complex overhead of database operations with smart data management services
  • Streamline Apache Cassandra™ database management with a single, integrated web console that provides a seamless user experience—from learning to development to production
  • Get the confidence and assurance you need to successfully deploy your Cassandra database in production with 24x7x365 support backed by a 99.99% uptime SLA
