You can find language specific libraries for many popular languages under the GoogleAPIs org on GitHub. To install, go to the defacto package manager for the specific language. * .NET: https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-dotnet/tree/maste... * Go: https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/tree/master/fi... * Java: https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-java/tree/master/... * Node.js: https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-firestore * PHP: https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php-firestore * Python: https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/tree/maste... * Ruby: https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-ruby/tree/master/...

The Google Cloud client libraries [1] are fully supported. You can use these to access services like Datastore, Spanner, Natural Language, and many other Cloud services. They work on this new runtime, on the flexible environment, on a VM, your local machine, etc. In my opinion, this is the most Pythonic way to integrate Cloud services in your app while maintaining portability. [1] https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python -- small caveat, the repo currently states that they're not supported on App Engine standard environment. That will be updated soon to clarify that the Python 3.7 runtime on the standard environment is supported.

It's up there right at the top of the README: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python

Heya, Thanks for the link! You're right that this is what I was looking for. Unfortunately, that hadn't shown up in a convenient place while I was googling around. Would be good to add direct links to those from the client lib references, because those pop up for e.g. "google storage python" first. (Unless they're already there and I didn't see them). Links from the READMEs of the repo might be useful too to help people get there? https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python

I recently just plugged python logger from https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python#google-... into my python codebase. Configuration took 15 minutes, I have nice dashboard showing recent logs, I can log either strings or jsons. I can analyze data later using BigQuery. It works from docker containers. I was contemplating trying out logstash or fluentd, but I don't see any major advantage over current simple solution. Can anyone more knowledgable than me help with explaining what I would get from logstash/fluentd?

Disclaimer: I work on gcloud-node [1]. :) You're describing the OAuth 2.0 client dance which has always been cumbersome but necessary for browser-side auth. With Google Cloud Platform related services, you should never have to do this if you're using these services from the context of your server. As someone previously mentioned, Google has Service Accounts which greatly simplifies the auth process. For example, to auth with gcloud-node it's as easy as: 1. Download the key.json associated with your service account. 2. var gcloud = require('gcloud')({ projectId: 'abc-123', keyFilename: './key.json' }); 3. There is no step 3. We've also made some pretty nice docs [2] with clear examples to help you every step of the way. We have yet to integrate Cloud Bigtable but it's on our radar. For a pythonista like yourself, you may like to con
