This means that if you already have a significant app running on Appengine Standard, none of the built-in APIs are supported (memcache, images, search, task queues, email, etc). That's a significant blocker to anyone wanting to upgrade their existing Standard 2.7 app to 3.7.
- anteater_alex 8y agoCorrect, but for us (migrating from AE Flex to Standard) it meant that it was working out of the box.
- indosauros 8y agoIt seems to me this product is mainly targeted at 1) new customers, and 2) AE Flex customers wanting to switch to Standard. The third category (Existing 2.7 Standard customers wanting to just upgrade to 3.7 -- which is me unfortunately) are going to be disappointed and stuck in a hard place, I think.
- dudus 8y agoWhat would be the incentive to migrate from AE Flexible to Standard if these apis are not there? The only thing I can think of is scale to 0.
- thesandlord 8y agoScale to 0, faster scaling up/down (no need for full VM spin up), faster deployments, less surface area for attack (maybe?).
