Migrating from App Engine ndb to Cloud NDB
Blog post from Google Cloud
The blog post discusses the transition from the App Engine ndb client library to the Cloud NDB for accessing Google Cloud's Datastore. It introduces a video tutorial and codelab designed to help developers migrate their applications, offering hands-on experience with a sample app. This transition is part of a broader modernization effort that includes moving to Python 3, adopting standalone services, and potentially breaking applications into microservices for platforms like Cloud Functions or containerizing them for Cloud Run. Cloud NDB, available for both Python 2 and 3, preserves much of the original App Engine ndb code and user experience while providing new features such as a context manager for more efficient data access. The post also highlights upcoming migration content and encourages developers to use the accompanying resources and official Cloud NDB migration guide for further assistance.
