+# Getting started with Django on Google Cloud Platform on App Engine Standard
+
+This repository is an example of how to run a [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/)

+example app to deploy.
+
+
+# Tutorial
+See our [Running Django in the App Engine Standard Environment](https://cloud.google.com/python/django/appengine) tutorial for instructions for setting up and deploying this sample application.
