Hi, I'm a Product Manager on the App Engine team. We're actually (finally!) gearing up to offer Python 3.

Would you like to be an alpha tester? Here's the sign-up form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfLXViTUmtY6Ed_Gm9H...

Can you share even a smidgen of what took so long (10 years!)?

From various comments over the years here and elsewhere, I’ve been led to the understanding that Python 3 was “coming soon” several times.

1. Why now?

2. Is it true this time?

3. Will Python 3 keep up to date with new releases, or 5 years from now will we be stuck on 3.6?

4. What is the future and roadmap of AppEngine?

The feeling in the community is that AppEngine is another Google Reader, and death may be imminent. Can you reassure us?

5. What is the future of Standard and Flex?

Should all new projects be started on Flex?

Is standard ever going to keep up with language releases?

Thanks

Awesome questions. We do understand from the company standpoint that its difficult to give the roadmap and the timelines of the product. However, a lot of the user's decision is completely based on the road map of the product. Without being clear on this, how would you expect users to use the product?!

How about .NET Core?

Ooc, why run .net core on gcp instead of azure?

I'd presume the most common are probably other experience with GCP, other applications on GCP, or prefer GCP tooling to Azure. I haven't compared pricing, so no comment there. Lastly, anti-ms pov.

For me there's main reasons are 1. Free tier 2. Features in that order

It is perfect for "hobby" projects that have no revenue today. If a "revenue strategy" emerges, it isofcourseeasy to enable billing but there is no 12 month $300 trial.
