If I'm developing an application that will run on the google container engine, but still wish for it to use cloud datastore, do I have any options to simulate cloud datastore for local development?
Please note for the sake of correctly understanding my question: My application will not be Python, PHP or Java. It will not be running via App Engine, but via Container Engine.
Have you tried using cloud datastore's local development server? It sounds like exactly what you are looking for.
