There is on-going discussion about NDB for Cloud Datastore here <https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python/issues/557#issuecomment-106952671>. The tl;dr is that basically it's possible, it's planned, but its contingent on the next release of the Cloud Datastore API and decoupling NDB from the App Engine SDK. That being said, you can absolutely continue use NDB in Managed VMs by using runtime: python-compat <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/managed-vms/python/migrating-an-existing-app> . Is webapp2 going to be deprecated > There are no present plans that I'm aware of to deprecate webapp2. Because webapp2 is a WSGI-compliant web framework and is not itself tied to App Engine, you can use it in Standard, Managed VMs, and pretty much anywhere else. It'll continue to work everywhere WSGI works. It's also an open-source project and patches are always welcome. The choice of Flask for our samples in Managed VMs is to more closely match the broader Python community. In that same effort, we're also creating Django samples. only went with it because I thought it would be better supported, but it > is far from the best option and not even maintained as far as I can tell.

As for webapp2 - I feel really burned by that choice.
