> Is db.get() faster than Model.get_by_key_name()?
> Currently we are using Model.get_by_key_name for querying over a

> quite less ( less than 1 req per second).

> 2. We use Model.get_by_key_name

> Proposed steps :-
> 1. We create the keyname (One string addition)
> 2. We get the key from that keyname and the Model class, using
> Key.from_path()
> 3. We use db.get() and fetch the result.
