This document discusses Java application development on Google App Engine (GAE). It provides details on frameworks like slim3 and Scenic3 that can be used to build Java web applications on GAE. It also discusses techniques to optimize application startup or "spin-up" time, such as leveraging caching and reducing class loading. Specific examples are given of spin-up times for sample Java applications on GAE ranging from 1,600ms to 3,000ms.
