Hello Patrice, Your perception about App Engine as PaaS scheduled to be shut down is unjustified: there are no such plans at the moment, nor are there chances the PaaS offer gets abandoned, not for the foreseeable future.
Products on this list <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python3/python-differences#app_engine_apis> are migrated: Task Queue to Cloud Tasks, Cron to Cloud Scheduler, Memcache to Memorystore, Datastore to Firestore, and Search to ElasticSearch, to make them available and ready to use outside of GAE. In other words, the intention is to not restrict products on this list to the App Engine SDK. Now with GKE, Cloud Run, and other Cloud provider computing solutions, it only makes sense to allow for these other platforms to take advantage of the products previously only GAE could. Worthwhile mentioning that, while the Engineering Team migrated these products outside of GAE, they also took it upon themselves to improve them, which is why there may be some difference in the new flavors of these products. As a side note, GCS is not tied to App Engine, and therefore does not require any migration. There is still a product that qualifies fully as PaaS: Cloud Functions. It is the true PaaS product: Developers do not need to worry about instance configuration at all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
