Blobstore is is not officially deprecated, and I hear that there are no plans to deprecate it.
Yet it is de facto deprecated -- Google recommends <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/blobstore/>against using it. The problem with Blobstore is - No backup tool. - The data is locked up -- very difficult to extract. The API <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/blobstore/> is oriented towards downloading to a browser, using a key passed from an HTML form. It should be possible to write code that behaves like a browser, but I'd rather not have to figure that out. - There is no API usable on Flex Env, or anywhere else except Standard Env Google should provide a super-easy way to extract and migrate data. Most simply, note that Cloud Storage can be a backing store for Blobstore. Google should provide a one-button migration that takes a Blobstore and alters it so that it is backed by Cloud Storage. Then existing Blobstore clients would continue to work, but it would become possible to access the data by a better-supported API. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
