App engine Go runtime 1.12 and memcache support

[Sahil Thaker]

I'm having trouble using the memcache api in Go under runtime go112

After using the appengine context for memcache api's Get or Set I'm getting:  service bridge HTTP failed: Post http://appengine.googleapis.internal:10001/rpc_http: dial tcp 169.254.169.253:10001: i/o timeout

This works fine when downgraded to go111, however I'd rather make it work for runtime 1.12 and onward.

Does anyone know how to make memcache work with go112 in app engine?

Thanks

Hello Sahil, 

The recommendation, in this case, is to use Redis Labs Memcached Cloud, instead of App Engine Memcache. You may check Migrating your App Engine app to Go 1.12 for related information.
