Catalyze vs Google App Engine: What are the differences?

Catalyze: HIPAA-compliant cloud computing for healthcare. Cloud tools for healthcare. We provide a HIPAA-compliant Platform as a Service (PaaS), HIPAA-compliant Mobile Backend (BaaS), and HL7 integration services. Focus on building your digital health app, and not on compliance. Think of us as your healthcare-specific DevOps team; 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.

Catalyze and Google App Engine can be categorized as "Platform as a Service" tools.

Some of the features offered by Catalyze are:

• Platform includes everything for infrastructure-specific HIPAA compliance: dedicated logging, monitoring, encryption in transit and at rest, backups, disaster recovery, vulnerability scanning, intrusion detection, to name a few
• Mobile Backend includes a compliant datastore, user management capabilities, custom classes, and more
• Audited 3 times, 2 HIPAA and 1 HITRUST

On the other hand, Google App Engine provides the following key features:

• 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.
