github.com/dal-go/dalgo2datastore
Bridge of Google Cloud Datastore API for github.com/dal-go/dalgo interface.
This uses cloud.google.com/go/datastore package.
Why "cloud.google.com/go/datastore" and not "google.golang.org/appengine/v2/datastore"?
The difference between the two Go packages cloud.google.com/go/datastore
and google.golang.org/appengine/v2/datastore lies
in the Google Cloud products they are designed to work with
and their functionality.
cloud.google.com/go/datastore:
This package is the official Go client library for Google Cloud Datastore, which is a highly-scalable, NoSQL database for web and mobile applications provided by Google Cloud Platform. It can be used with various Google Cloud products and services, not just App Engine. The package enables your application to interact with the Datastore API, allowing you to store, query, and manage data.
The cloud.google.com/go/datastore package is recommended for new projects that require Datastore functionality. It
supports all the features of the Datastore API, and works with both App Engine standard and flexible environments, as
well as other environments like Kubernetes Engine or Compute Engine.
google.golang.org/appengine/v2/datastore:
This package is part of the App Engine SDK for Go and is designed specifically for use
with the App Engine Standard Environment.
It provides a slightly different API for working with Datastore
compared to the cloud.google.com/go/datastore package.
The package is tailored to the App Engine environment,
which means it may not be suitable for use outside of App Engine
or in newer runtime environments like the second generation of the App Engine standard environment.
TL/DR:
The cloud.google.com/go/datastore package is recommended for new projects
as it is more versatile and works across various Google Cloud products and services,
whereas the google.golang.org/appengine/v2/datastore package is primarily meant
for use with the App Engine standard environment.
