Google App Engine and Knative

[Anil Kumar]

How do Google App Engine and Knative link up?

[Katayoon (Cloud Platform Support)]

For the time being they are different products. Knative is a Kubernetes-based platform, and App Engine is a different fully managed platform to build and deploy applications.

Your question is too general. More details and clarification would help us to assist you further.

Thanks for your reply Katayoon.

I understand that both Knative and App Engine are 'managed platforms' and both are two different offerings. What I am looking for is along the following lines :

1. If I am starting on a completely new project now - then should I take the Knative or the App Engine route?

2.  What are the advantages / disadvantages of using Knative vs App Engine?

3. When should I use Knative and when should I use App Engine?

You can have both App Engine and Kubernetes Engine in a single project, however it is recommended creating a new project for this alpha program.

Knative is the most suitable approach when you want a serverless App Engine Flex-like experience, be available on every cloud (multi-cloud), hybrid, and on-prem setup. The goal for Knative is to fill that need, especially for people that already use kubernetes.

Knative is on top of Kubernetes and is currently available in the alpha version, but App Engine is a solid GA service that provides a fully managed experience and runs enormous services.
