I've been asking my sales rep about FE for over a year now. They kept telling me that the "GA" was imminent and that I should be patient. Now that it's in GA but still no availability in Europe, I'm wondering if GAE FE will ever happen.
I got some insight from a few Google Engineers at Google Cloud Next who clearly told me that there was NO technical reason to wait any longer for a release in Europe. So I strongly suspect that some legal reasons are preventing Google from making GAE FE available here. I keep hearing that I should use GCE instances in the meantime, but I'd have to rewrite most of my backend to talk to all the App Engine services. And no ndb, no automatic caching, a lot of pain in general, which is what I tried to escape when I picked Google App Engine. I can understand if it takes time to make FE available in Europe, but a little bit of communication wouldn't hurt. On Thursday, March 16, 2017 at 3:16:30 PM UTC+1, Giuseppe Ancona wrote: > > Why?
