2013 was a busy year for Google Cloud Platform. Watch this space: each day, a different Googler who works on Cloud Platform will be sharing his or her highlight from the past year.
The addition of the PHP runtime to Google App Engine was undoubtedly the highpoint of my year. When we launched PHP support at Google I/O 2013, PHP was the top customer requested feature. By combining App Engine with Google Cloud SQL and Google Cloud Storage, we already see a number of pre-existing high-traffic PHP applications, like Motherboard, move to App Engine to take advantage of the worry free scaling and zero-administration overhead. And, within the last month, we hosted a live online quiz for the largest livestreamed music event in history - built using PHP on App Engine. With so many great users already, it’s exciting to think that the next Snapchat or Khan Academy could be written in PHP, hosted inside Google’s datacenters.
