That is a very good question.
Another thing to note is that GAE standard api does not work in Flex or GCE (no portable api for datastore, memcache, runtime apis for versions and modules, etc.) So basically any code that you write in standard gae is locked in.
Another interesting note is that standard gae is covered in free tier but flex is not covered in free tier.
It seems like google is trying to lock you in with standard gae and then make you pay order of magnitude more for the infrastructure once your service gets some traction.
- thesandlord 8y agoGen1 Standard used proprietary GAE APIs that locked you in. Gen2 Standard (PHP7, Node8, Java8, Python3, etc) uses the standard GCP APIs that you can call from anywhere, including other clouds. It should be relatively straightforward to move from Gen2 Standard to Flex and vice versa. (I work for GCP)
