Google App Engine firewall in our ever-connected data-driven world

At the core of stakes, we have the ability to do production testing without exposing your app to the world, block access to your app from specific geographies or block requests from a malicious user.

In effect, with the beta release of Google App Engine firewall, you simply provide a set of rules, order them by priority and specify an IP address, or a set of IP addresses, to block or allow.

App Engine firewall replaces the need for a code-based solution within your app that still allows requests in, but which can cost you resources and still expose your app.

You can setup App Engine firewall rules in the Google Cloud Console as well as with the App Engine Admin API or gcloud command-line tool.
