Thanks for the answers! I already migrated my app to Flex Env using the compat runtime and noticed a great performance gain with only 1 permanent instance in comparison to automatic scaling in Standard Edition (10x more throughput showed by jmeter). Now that the compat runtime is deprecated I'll sadly have to rewrite my code anyway. Flex Env also seems to be quite expensive that's why GCE could be the right thing for me. Of course deployments or updates are a problem there, but one powerful instance should be enough to handle the current traffic (100k requests/day, <10 requests/second) and also for the near future. As soon as a load balancer is needed, GCE seems to be in a similar price range as Flex Env, so it's really hard to decide where to go - Flex Env of course would be perfect if it was less expensive and would support a Memcache service (which will come as I read). If there was the compat runtime GA it would be just perfect and I would be willing to pay more not having to rewrite everything. I think there would be many small to mid-size apps being very happy about it. However, and sorry for thinking loud too much, the biggest problem of migrating from GAE SE to GCE to Flex is the data. As we need a new project for each migration, is it still possible to access the datastore of the legacy project from each of them using the Cloud Client libraries? That would be great and give us even more flexibility to better adapt to business growth. Thank you so much for your wonderful work and support!
