There are so many examples: HRD is *not* a comparable alternative to the original data store. It lacks a bunch of consistency guarantees that require all sorts of hacky workarounds in apps that we didn’t used to have to do, and for relatively small-scale apps are completely silly.
Cloud Storage is not a comparable alternative to the blobstore in various ways. The new admin console is a buggy navigational nightmare compared to the old, simple, reliable console. I’m sure others on the list who have been around as long as you and I can think of others. Google replaces simple, functional capabilities with complex, more functional, but not comparable capabilities. It’s a pathology of GAE. -Joshua > On Jun 27, 2016, at 5:40 PM, PK <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Joshua, > > I am not sure what you are referring to but what your write is not consistent > with my experience using GAE for a very long time.
