Google App Engine fiasco :-(

Never used App Engine before, was always on AWS.

Recently for my Andriod app, I thought of giving GAE a try. The app was on Firebase, the only "Server" I needed was to send a push notifications (Downstream). So, I just went "Google Cloud Module" wizard with "Endpoints" option on Android Studio.

And created this simple servlet.

/ * An endpoint class we are exposing / @Api( name = "pushApi", version = "v3", namespace = @ApiNamespace( ownerDomain = "com.example.sample", ownerName = "com.example.sample", packagePath = "" ) )

public class MyEndpoint {

    PushBean response = new PushBean();

    /**
     * A simple endpoint method that takes a name and says Hi back
     */

    @ApiMethod(name = "pushToTopic")

    public PushBean toTopic(@Named("topic") String topic, @Named("dataJson") String dataJson) {

        try{
            response.messageTopic(topic,dataJson);
            return response;
        }catch(Exception e){
            return null;
        }
    }
