Hello George, Thank you for the quick response. I was following the Running Django in the App Engine Flexible Environment <https://cloud.google.com/python/django/flexible-environment> tutorial and it does not say anything about the SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI environment variable. Is it not meant for SQLAlchemy only? I am using Django's ORM. I actually have another instance running with the same app.yaml as described above and it is working. The difference is that that project (including both the App Engine and SQL instance) is in the us-central region and I deployed it a couple of months ago, when the App Engine Flexible was still in beta.
So is now the SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI variable meant for using with the Django ORM, too, and the old beta_settings is deprecated? I'll give it a try, it is just not very logical (at least for me), why the variable name includes "SQLAlchemy" if it is meant for any kind of python<->sql connection.
