Android Mobile App - is this a good use-case for Google Cloud Service?

I'm working on an Android mobile application which retrieves data from Betfair and displays the results.

The Betfair API is basically a Web Service that returns JSON, and it's generic enough to return appropriate data based on customized input.

Now my question is, would using a Google cloud app engine bring any value given I'm already retrieving data from a web service (betfair API)?

Thanks.

  • I would say "no" - as your Android app can talk directly to the service to get data via JSON. To add kind of Google Cloud service seems would act as an unnecessary intermediary.
