Last I looked I believe NDB was not supported.

It'll continue to work everywhere WSGI works. Sure - I currently use it on GCE as well just to not use two frameworks. But it is abandoned as far as I can tell - there are bugs that have not been addressed in years. > It's also an open-source project and patches are always welcome. > I’m sorry, but that’s a little disingenuous. As far as I can tell there is _no_ activity on webapp2. I submitted a bug report that pointed to an exact line of code that needed to be changed but there was no response (https://code.google.com/archive/p/webapp-improved/issues/102 <https://code.google.com/archive/p/webapp-improved/issues/102>). It’s not clear that there is any process to submit patches (contributing on the website has no information - https://webapp-improved.appspot.com/#contribute <https://webapp-improved.appspot.com/#contribute>), there is no active mailing list / discussion forum, the bug tracker is just an archive on google code, and I can see no evidence that there is anyone other than a Google employee that can commit. So - I’ll call your bluff. Tell me how to submit a patch for the issue I pointed to and I’ll happily do so. Otherwise, please consider declaring that the project is abandoned and stop pointing people to webapp2 in App Engine documentation since it’s a dead end.
