Word Press with app engine

[Sumanta Bhowmik]

What are the best practices if I want part of my site in WordPress and part in standard appengine. My assumption is that standard appengine does not support WordPress. I can think of using subdomain for one of them but that would effect search engine ranking of my pages because subdomains are treated as separate pages. Also how would the data sharing happen between the 2. Please don't ask me to raise this at stack overflow because best practices questions get moderated. I would not move to flexible app engine because it is expensive even if I use manual scaling with 1 instance.

You would deploy multiple services. You would deploy your WordPress site to a PHP service by following the Google Cloud WordPress Guide, then deploy the other parts of your App Engine application to other services all under the same project. 

Then when you want the services to share information, they can either send URLFetch requests to each other's URL addresses at their specific URL handlers, or share information using an external data source (like a Cloud SQL instance) that you give them both read/write access to.

- An easier approach would be to deploy your Wordpress site to a Compute Engine instance. Then select the free tier 'micro 0.2 CPUs' machine type to run your Wordpress site for free. Communication with your App Engine application would be the same as above (a data source and/or URLFetch where your Compute Engine instance would accept requests using Endpoints).

To be explicitly clear, WordPress is supported under App Engine Standard, though it can be finicky given the constraints.  I can't speak to SEO myself, so I'll leave that for others on this group to chime in on.
