This API Showcase demonstrates how to run an App Engine standard environment application with dependencies on both Google BigQuery and Cloud Monitoring.

The home page of this application provides a form to initiate a query of public data, in this case StackOverflow questions tagged with google-bigquery.

The home page also provides a summary view of the metrics that have been logged in the past 30 days.

Copy the sample apps to your local machine, and cd to the appengine-java21/bigquery directory:

git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples
cd appengine-java21/bigquery

• Make sure gcloud is installed and initialized:

   gcloud init

• If this is the first time you are creating an App Engine project

   gcloud app create

• For local development, set up authentication
• Enable BigQuery and Monitoring APIs

Run using shown Maven command. You can then direct your browser to http://localhost:8080/ to see the most recent query run (since the app started) and the metrics from the past 30 days.

mvn appengine:run

Note: The first time the app is run (or after any metrics definitions have been deleted) it may take up to 5 minutes for the MetricDescriptors to sync with StackDriver before any results are shown. If you do not see results, please wait a few moments and try again.

• Deploy to App Engine standard environment using the following Maven command.

   mvn clean package appengine:deploy

• Direct your browser to https://<your-project-id>.appspot.com.
• View more in-depth metrics data on the Cloud Monitoring Dashboard
