I am new to Google App Engine. I am building a web app using python and django rest api framework. I am using cloud bigtable, cloud sql and cloud storage for my databases and storage. I wanted to know if I have to use Google App Engine Apis or can I build my own in django to read and write data to the databases and get files from cloud storage? I want to try to keep costs low and not lock in to Google App Engine.

You can use vanilla DjangGAE to do everything you'd mentioned. A good starting point

It's worth mentioning that there are a few notable limitations. Those are also listed in the site I'd linked to.

  • Are all these thing, such as Djangae, open source and free to use in commercial products? – Ronnie May 12 '17 at 19:43
  • most definitely. – Jay Bennett May 12 '17 at 20:01
  • @JayBennett I was actually going to link to https://p.ota.to - a company that has been building on GAE with Django for at least 5-6 years now and after I went to their github I realized they're the maintainers of djangae, so I most definitely upvote this! If anyone knows how to run Django on GAE it's them. – Borko Kovacev May 12 '17 at 20:08
  • Djangae current only supports django 1.7 and 1.8. Is it ok to start a new project with 1.8 even though 1.11 is the newest version of django? – Ronnie May 12 '17 at 22:13
