Logging In to the CAE Console

Cloud Application Engine (CAE) is a serverless PaaS platform that provides simplified hosting for applications. It helps users migrate microservice applications to the cloud without O&M IaaS on a pay-per-use basis, effectively reducing costs and improving efficiency.

With CAE, applications can be deployed within minutes using source code, software packages, or container images. CAE supports mainstream languages such as Java, Node.js, and Tomcat and multiple runtime systems. It provides seamless hosting of multiple types of applications, including web applications, microservices, and APIs. Also, it supports auto scaling based on resources or custom service metrics to cope with unexpected user access traffic. Resources are billed by pay-per-use. In addition, CAE provides pluggable runtimes for you to focus on application development. Built-in application governance enable self-healing and quick recovery of cloud native applications.
