I have seen many references to using GQL in the "GAE Datastore viewer" but I just cant find a place to do that...
I am using the GAE JAVA SDK v1.8.8 and accessing the Data Store viewer via http://localhost:8899/_ah/admin/datastore.
Was this option removed? or should I somehow enable it?
Using GQL is not part of the local development server. It is available in the live App Engine console for your application.
The development web server includes a Datastore Viewer (/_ah/admin/datastore) via which you can only browse the local datastore.

In my previous App Engine projects I used the Cloud Datastore, and during development I could debug my app on the local server and it would use a local database, stored in a file I could wipe out if I wanted to start from scratch.
With Cloud Firestore, even when I'm running locally it's talking to my real cloud database. Is there still a local option? Note that I'm not talking about client-side persistence, I'm talking about a mock development DB.
Google recommends setting up multiple projects if you want dev/staging/production, and I'm guessing that's the answer, but I'd like to know before adjusting my workflow.
I think (now only a few months later) that this is supported. When I run my app, using dev_appserver.py, I see a message
INFO 2019-02-14 00:08:56,030 admin_server.py:150] Starting admin server at: http://localhost:8000
Going to that URL shows me all the instances I have been seeing. These seem to persist even when the dev_appserver is restarted. Reading this and other posts I was convinced that my development was using my actual cloud database, but going to https://console.firebase.google.com/project/myproject was showing completely different content.
Just to be sure (because google is google and everything is named the same) I'm using an appengine app and a gcloud project, storing things to Firestore using ndb.Models...
Oh, but careful. My app I was also using the cloudstorage (blobstore?) and even though the localhost:8000 showed these, THESE WERE THE REMOTE INSTANCES.
There is a local emulator for Firestore when using the Firebase CLI:

Is there a way to run app engine and neo4j in one application locally? What I want to do is fetch app engine datastore entities and create my neo4j graph database using it. I checked app engine documentation where they have specified what all external libraries it supports. Right now, I am running into an issue where my csv stream response is more than 32 MB. Also, I can't use Compute Engine. Pricing is the issue and I am making too many requests!
We got a couple millions data in the current GAE project using Google Cloud store. Mostly GPS point information. We want to be able to use all these GPS points in another demo instance, which is hosted in another GAE instance. Anyway we can do it?
Using Golang + Google App Engine
There is a Google Cloud Datastore API that you can use to access your Datastore data from any other deployment, including a different App Engine app. It's not available in Go, so you will have to mix in some Python or Java.
When I create a new Application from App Engine Console https://appengine.google.com/,
the application also appears on Cloud Console https://cloud.google.com/console#c=l
However, clicking into the project shows that only these features are included:
App Engine
BigQuery
Cloud Datastore
Compared with Project created directly from Cloud Console:
App Engine
Compute Engine
Cloud Storage
BigQuery
APIs
Cloud Datastore
Cloud SQL
That leads to problem that App Engine project is missing access to many features and there seems no obvious way to add them back later.
Any idea what's wrong here?
1,This only implies that when you create an application from app engine console, it directly creates 3 types of projects: app engine app, datastore instance and big query(i think you need to enable the api first) with the same project id. This does not mean you cannot use the other features. It only means you need to separately enable them and give project ids.
2, If you create a project from cloud console, then it will automatically create projects under all the 7 different categories with the same project ID
Finally I found how to do this:
Go to https://appengine.google.com/
Open your app
Open Administration / Application Settings
Click the button in the "Cloud Integration" section
Is there a GUI for Google AppEngine DataStore ?
I'm looking for something similar to phpMyAdmin.
Thanks a lot.
appengine.google.com has its own datastore viewer. where you can login and view the complete datastore for all your applications. In the development server, appengine SDK emulates the same. You can access it like http://localhost:8080/_ah/admin
Yes, in your app dashboard, on the left you see section Data. In that click on datastore viewer. Ofcourse this works if your app is hosted on app engine, for local server see, How to browse local Java App Engine datastore?
