Google Cloud API Showcase: BigQuery & Cloud Monitoring in App Engine standard environment for Java 8

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

Clone the sample app

Copy the sample apps to your local machine, and cd to the appengine-java8/bigquery directory:

git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples
cd appengine-java8/bigquery

Setup

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 locally

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

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.
