Migrating from GAE Standard to Flexible environment?

[Gangbaolede Li]

Hi guys,

I recently migrated from python2 to python3 on GAE Standard. Now I want to migrate from GAE Standard to Flexible Environment. Do I have to start a new project on GAE? or Can I just deploy to my current project for this migration?

Thanks,

Ganbold

Hi Ganbold, 

Yes you could just deploy a new service with App Engine Flex configuration. 

You will have to keep in mind the differences between App Engine Standard and Flexible[1] and how you can optimize your code[2] if needed, when doing the migration.
