Hello, 

Has anyone used Apache Ignite as as in memory db for you application in GCP app engine? 

Cheers,

Hi there,


I noticed your question is not getting much attention here.


Since it is a Technical/How-To question, I recommend posting it on Stackoverflow, as these questions tend to get more attention there.


Just remember to add the `google-app-engine` tag to your post.


Also provide any errors you might be experiencing while attempting this setup, or a more specific best practices question.

Hi, Lovell

Are you aware that GCP has a bunch of in-memory data storage? For example, the Cloud Memorystore is a fully-managed in-memory data store service[1]. Similarly, App Engine has the memcache[2] as a distributed in-memory data cache for some  of your application's tasks.

So, depending on what your intentions are, I believe there are offerings already available in GCP which may be used. At this time though, It seems this implementation is not directly supported for App Engine applications in GCP.

Thanks, i did compare Apache ignite and memory store and chose ignite since that was free. Memory store is not free.

I am building an online game and need an in memory storage to persist the state of the game.

Having said that, I haven’t checked out memcache at all. May be I should give that a try. Looks like it has a free version.

Quite rightly, there are two levels of the App Engine memcache. As per this documentation[1], the Shared Memcache is free. You can find out more about configuring the Shared Memcache in this article[2].
