Compute Engine in same project as App Engine

[Thomas Baldauf]

Is it possible to run one or more Compute Engine VMs in the same project as App Engine instances and use the same Datastore? If so, will their performance be as good because of the colocation of the services?

[Evan Jones]

It definitely works. I haven't investigated the performance carefully, since we are primarily an App Engine app with a small amount of stuff outside of App Engine. Basically: Our non-app engine stuff accesses the datastore sufficiently quickly and reliably that we haven't had to investigate it.

Thank you, Evan!
