Hi Thomas, less than a month ago Lorne from Google wrote the following in this list, it should cover your concern:
"Regarding the App Engine standard environment, there is no deprecation coming. We are excited about the updates to the App Engine flexible environment that were just announced <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/python/upgrading>, which will run alongside the standard environment. We are committed to both environments, with both providing unique advantages. We are also excited about upcoming enhancements to the standard environment that will start to show up early in 2017, beginning with the Java 8 runtime.” Best, PK > From: "'Jordan (Cloud Platform Support)' via Google App Engine" > <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [google-appengine] Re: Alternative to Objectify: Catatumbo? > Date: December 13, 2016 at 2:00:53 PM PST > To: Google App Engine <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected] > Reply-To: [email protected] > > Hey Thomas, > > I currently do not have any information to provide about the GAE SDK roadmap, > but I have made an inquiry into the team that may, and they will post a reply > here if they have the answers to your questions. > > -- > On Dec 12, 2016, at 1:22 PM, Thomas Baldauf <[email protected]> wrote: > > Jordan, I'd like to know if Google is planning to drop support for GAE SDK > APIs altogether, also for Standard Environment.
