[cloud-app-engine-springboot]: new gradle appengine standard tutorial request

[bogdan-marian]

Dear GoogleCodeLabs Team

I am writing to request a Gradle App Engine Standard with Spring Boot tutorial that would benefit any Java developer. From my recent experience in starting a project on App Engine Standard, I found the configuration to be challenging, especially with regards to Java 11 and Gradle. The documentation on this subject can be inconsistent, and it took me several days of trial and error to configure the project correctly.

In my case, I also had to integrate Objectify6, and setting up good in-memory unit tests and emulator-based integration tests has been extremely challenging. I believe a tutorial that covers the extra configuration required for App Engine development would be immensely beneficial for any Java developer. This tutorial should include instructions on the use of yum files and XML files, as well as testing locally and deploying using Google Cloud.

The lack of clear instructions on setting up a project for success is frustrating, and I believe this tutorial would help many developers adopt this tech stack with greater ease.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards Bogdan Oloeriu
