App Engine for Go Now in General Availability

I&#x27;ve been trying out App Engine for Go the last couple weeks for a side project, but it&#x27;s been a bit of a headache. Having to use their data store was a little annoying to begin with, but I was able to get past that one. Once I started playing with user accounts I was very frustrated to learn that they only support Google Account login functionality... I have been looking at implementing my own but Go doesn&#x27;t appear to have a common authentication package and the advice often seems to be &quot;roll your own&quot;. Any advice for doing this?<p>That said, this is the only Go hosting service I could find that has a free tier and their development binaries are very well done!

I&#x27;ve been using Go on App Engine for the past 6 months for a weekend project. My goal is to build a little search engine for Swift language&#x2F;iOS resources. At the moment, I don&#x27;t crawl any sites, just search titles and tags. I&#x27;ve been happy with the performance. Seems snappy?<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.h4labs.com&#x2F;dev&#x2F;ios&#x2F;swift.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.h4labs.com&#x2F;dev&#x2F;ios&#x2F;swift.html</a><p>Anyway, I&#x27;d like to hear from other Go web developers. Libraries, frameworks, etc that work well on App Engine.

Whether to use Go on App Engine or not is a much less important question than whether to use App Engine or not. Java is also a good choice on App Engine. But either way, using App Engine dramatically affects almost any decision you&#x27;ll make about how to build, and it ties your fortune to the sometimes-capricious product decisions made for App Engine.

I have been really enjoying Go App Engine support for some time now. It&#x27;s pretty convenient to write web apps in Go, although to be fair all my projects have been super simple. I don&#x27;t really have any experience making anything beyond a simple forum.

Nice! I&#x27;ve been using this for a few years for my Scrabble solver app but it&#x27;s good to know they&#x27;ve committed to it for the long term :).

This is good news. Just out of curiosity, how App Engine with Golang is different than Digital Ocean with Golang????

PSA: Google is notorious for blatantly lying about App Engine availability. Today’s yellow alerts and red exes, on the uptime&#x2F;status page, somehow always become yesterday&#x27;s green checks.<p>(This was a first-hand source of frustration for the team I was working with a few years ago.)<p>You have been warned.

off topic , Do you think they will do same thing for dart too ?
