	<configuration>
		<version>1-0-0</version>
		<!-- 
			set your google cloud project id here.
			Or set it with system property.
			Example: clean package -Dapp.deploy.projectId=[your_project_id] appengine:deploy
		-->
		<projectId></projectId>
	</configuration>	

• Run this Maven command/goal to deploy it to Google App Engine:

	clean package appengine:deploy

• Setup Cloud Scheduler (App Engine Cron Jobs) by deploying src/main/appengine/cron.yaml. Run this gcloud command:

	gcloud app deploy cron.yaml

• src/main/resources/static/index.html - This web page will be displayed when the application is accessed with a browser. Most likely you will want to change this.

• src/main/appengine/app.yaml - This configures the instance that will be deployed to Google App Engine. By default, it creates an F1 class instance with max 1 instance running.

• When running in multiple instances, it is possible to have a race condition when multiple users try to add score at the same time.
