Re: [google-appengine] Is Google App Engine Launcher being deprecated? Why??

Thanks for the update. It's a real shame that the Launcher has been deprecated. This is one decision that needs to be reversed. I think unless Google has clear stats showing either a very small active userbase for Launcher and/or a clear and rapid downward trend of usage, then development shoul

[google-appengine] PHP script not flushing output to browser, in dev server?

I've got a long running PHP script which does some processing and should be outputting text to the browser occasionally during it's runtime but it just seems to stack all the output up and display it at the end. I'm using ob_start(), ob_flush() and ob_end_flush so PHP definitely should be sendin

Hi, Can anyone clarify the cost of projection queries please? (both in operations and financially) Datastore pricing page at: https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/pricing says a regular query (is that "SELECT * " ?) is 1 read + 1 read per entity retrieved. I get that, but then projection qu
