My best friend Jeff started working on Objectify in 2009 after I convinced him to use GAE. I have built two businesses on it. One did $80m in revenue in the first year and I guarantee we couldn’t have done it without GAE.
Now give me back my downvote please.
You also just said that you used it very effectively back when it was a different thing.
I think we agree in many more ways than we disagree.
"We migrated"... meaning that over time, everyone is migrating from the concept of using GAE as a first choice, to using things like Run/Functions. Not that I actually physically took code for GAE and moved it to R/F. For example, my last project, I choose to use GCF, instead of GAE. The reason I went straight to GCF is because it is effectively what GAE has morphed into today. This isn't a slight on GAE at all. I've updated previous comment to hopefully clarify this for you.
Again, I have used GCP extensively since about 2009. By the way, much of what you use today was a result of things I did back when I co-founded the Jakarta Apache project, open sourced Tomcat from Sun, brought Lucene under the umbrella, blah blah blah... I've been around the internet since 1991.
- In 2012 App Engine deprecated the "Conversion API".
- They notified this deprecation in August 2012, and they told users it would stop working only 3 months afterwards.
- You were affected by this deprecation.
- You created an alternative to it, that worked on Heroku.

Did I get this right?
You are awesome. We are just choosing to remember the past with different colored glasses.
There was a point where people were upset about GCP and Google changed their whole deprecation policies to be more vocal and longer term about things.
I really don't understand your point. What's the big deal?
