When we started building software on App Engine, we found we did not need our existing server, <a href="https://github.com/nytimes/gizmo" data-href="https://github.com/nytimes/gizmo" class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: inherit; text-decoration: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.44); background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6) 50%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 50%); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-size: 2px 0.1em; background-position: 0px 1.07em; font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 21px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -0.063px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">gizmo</a>, because App Engine automatically provides more than half of gizmo’s server functionality.
