Is there any way to connect a GAE application with a custom Google Cloud Database?

Question

I'm trying to connect my webapp2 application to a 'in-cloud' database. To run it local I'm using the following commands:

 --datastore_path=/<path>/<to>/<project>/.db/datastore
 --blobstore_path=/<path>/<to>/<project>/.db/blobstore

The problem is that I don't want a local path to my datastore/blobstore. Is there any way to connect in a 'in-cloud' database passing a different path? Can't find any solutions like that

Answer 1

You can use Remote API:

The Remote API library allows any Python client to access services available to App Engine applications.

For example, if your App Engine application uses Datastore or Google Cloud Storage, a Python client could access those storage resources using the Remote API.

in order to get remotely access to Google Cloud Datastore using webapp2.
