I don't understand the value proposition of the Flex Environment, especially the non-compat one.
It does not support AppEngine APIs, Memcache, or built-in credentials. Scaling is nice, and there are some management tools, but is that enough reason for users to adopt it, in contrast to an IaaS or container solution? I am asking a high-level question here: Why would a software architect, seeing a variety of choices for building an application (beyond a standard webapp or pipeline), choose to use Flexible Environment?
