Greetings long-time App Engine developers, If you're running on Python 2, Java 6-8, Go 1.6-1.11, and PHP 5, we'd like to encourage you to consider upgrading to Python 3, Java 11, Go 1.12+, and PHP 7. The issue facing many of you is that moving to the next-gen App Engine platform involves two significant changes, so we understand why there has been some hesitancy:
1. Upgrading to a newer language version 2. Moving from bundled to unbundled/best-of-breed services While Google can't help with the former, we *can* do something about the latter. Last month, my colleague announced <https://groups.google.com/g/google-appengine/c/6Ws9IXl_QmM/m/3ZvsIozbAAAJ> a community-driven repo of migration samples <https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/appengine-python2-3-migration>. A few weeks ago, I introduced a series of codelab tutorials <https://twitter.com/wescpy/status/1378050414449319937?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=unpaidsoc&utm_campaign=CDR_wes_aap-serverless_modernizegae_codelabsannounce_201031&utm_content=-> to give users hands-on experience migrating unbundled services, starting with Python as those developers have even greater challenges due to Python 3 not being backwards-compatible to Python 2. There is also content for those interested in containerizing their App Engine apps (for Cloud Run). These are just a few steps we're taking to help existing users modernize their apps. Stay tuned for additional resources coming soon from the App Engine team.
