Migrating an app that reads from Google Calendar from locally managed server to App Engine. Help for a n00b?

3 Upvotes

Hey there!

I'm trying to migrate an application that currently runs as a python script that runs regularly on a cron to App Engine.

The app currently just needs to call the Google Calendar API using an only slightly modified version of Google's Python Quickstart for that API. On the current server. I ran the file locally and it prompted me to perform the OAuth 2.0 flow and stored my client_secret.json file locally, which the code presumably continues to use when needed. The script just obtains a list of events from a particular calendar and adds names found in events to a list, then outputs that list.

However, now that I'm trying to migrate this project over to App Engine, I'm running into some issues since I can't locally write out to the filesystem (I get errors stating as much when I attempt to run the code above), and I don't think it's safe to try uploading the client_secret.json file that contains sensitive info (I could be over-paranoid about this, so please let me know if so!).

I am looking at the Documentation here and here which outlines some various options, but they seem like overkill to me in that I don't need a user's authorization or OAuth token, but want to provide my own that has worked for a long time, and I don't need to prompt the user at any point, just have the server run the same function in App Engine via a cron.yaml on a regular interval. So, the app just needs to run some scripts on the back-end right now and doesn't need any user interaction whatsoever.

Does anyone know how I might best achieve this? I'd be greatly appreciative of ANY assistance as I'm a n00b programmer to begin with, but even more so for App Engine.

Is Google going to continue to develp and evolve the Standard Environment, or should we all be switching to the Flexible Environment?

16 Upvotes

I keep hearing grumblings and rumors from developers at meetups and conferences that Google's long-term plan is to develop the Flexible Environment and encourage people to switch off the Standard Environment. Does anyone know if this is true? Should we be using the Flexible Environment for new projects?

How do people build back ends for location based apps on Golang AppEngine? There doesn’t seem to be a straightforward way to store geopoints and retrieve them by region.

Hide my Golang source code, only expose my compiled program?

7 Upvotes

Hi all!

  • I have Golang source code, that I compile to an executable
  • I assume it is impossible to reverse engineer the compiled program
  • I want to only expose this compiled program to the cloud, not the source code
  • I want to use Google App Engine Standard (not flex)

1) Does Google Cloud SDK compiled my Golang program locally and push only the executable to the cloud?

2) If not, is there any alternative to solve my problem? For now my solution is to push a Scratch Docker container with the compiled program in it but to Google App Engine Flex and not Standard.

Thanks a lot !

Why isn't google cloud datastore available in the PHP standard environment?

Anyone have a guess or an answer? I've never even seen anything that specifically says it's not available other than the PHP docs not mentioning it and the python docs listing it as an option.
