I want to build mobile app. This app will connect to server, upload some data and files, server will perform some manipulation with data and files, and will send results back to app or to email. All server logic writen on java, there are several jars. So I need server. desirable flexible because i don't sure about possible popularity of app. So maybe cloud will be good solution. And i need suggestion, because i can't understand what i need, for example i looked on google side, but there are google app engine and google cloud what i need to choose? Or maybe select something other Amazon and etc.
Thanks

You can choose an IaaS (as Amazon EC2 instances or Digital Ocean), where you can rent an infrastructure taking care off all the configuration/installation process. "Old school", as you have to setup everything and take care of software, security, backup or updates.
You can also try a PaaS out where you just need to deploy and then pay as you use. You can easily scale up the memory ram your app needs, or the number of instances you would like to have.
There are several PaaS that you can look at. If you would like to have an overview about how it works on a specific one, you can take a look at this.
