This API Showcase demonstrates how to run an AppEngine 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.

• Copy the sample apps to your local machine:

  git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples

• Add the appengine-simple-jetty-main Main class to your classpath:

  cd appengine-java11/appengine-simple-jetty-main
  mvn install

• Move into the appengine-java11/bigquery directory and compile the app:

  cd ../bigquery
  mvn package

• 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
• If you have not already enabled your project for StackDriver, do so by following these instructions.

• Deploy to AppEngine standard environment using the following Maven command.

   mvn appengine:deploy -Dapp.deploy.projectId=<your-project-id>

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

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.
