Hey Thomas, I have confirmation from engineering that validates PK's post. Concerning Alpha enrollment, these requests are still being processed, and based on usage patterns and other criteria users are selected. Also, there is a lot of work being done to make a good migration path to the Flex e

Thanks Jordan. I’m in the beta program, however, it’ll be a while before I can use the new API for real work. I pretty much live on push-queues and the most critical feature (to me) is transactional enqueueing. I honestly have no idea how anyone could build any kind of real-world app without transa

Jordan, I'd like to know if Google is planning to drop support for GAE SDK APIs altogether, also for Standard Environment. If so, many many developers would have to rewrite considerable parts of their code for the migration to the new REST APIs. What exactly is the problem about releasing a new

Just to be chime in - Objectify will eventually support the new HTTP-based API to the datastore. However, until Google has a viable HTTP-based API to the task queue that lets us transactionally enqueue tasks, I can’t use the new datastore API. And I’ll be unlikely to make a successful migration of

Hey Thomas, As neither Objectify or Catatumbo are Google supported products, and are third-party, the best place to get a migration guide is from the creators of these frameworks. Specifically I'd recommend contacting Catatumbo Support to add a easy migration guide
