and will bedeprecatedon January 31, 2026. After deprecation, you won't be able to deploy Java 8
applications, even if your organization previously used an organization policy to
re-enable deployments of legacy runtimes. Your existing Java

youmigrate to the latest supported version of Java.
Using App Engine APIs with DatastoreStay organized with collectionsSave and categorize content based on your preferences.
Datastoreis a NoSQL document database built for automatic scaling, high performance, and
ease of application development.
The pages in this section describe how to access Datastore withApp Engine APIs. Apps that use these APIs can only run in
App Engine and will need to upgrade to therecommended Google Cloud APIsbefore migrating to newer App Engine runtimes. The recommended APIs for
Datastore are in the Google Cloud Client Library and enable your
app to run in App Engine as well as other environments that support Java 8.
Using Objectify with Datastore
Instead of using App Engine APIs or Google Cloud APIs, you can use Objectify
to access Datastore.Objectifyis an open-source API for Cloud Datastore that provides a higher-level of
abstraction than App Engine APIs and Google Cloud APIs. While apps that use
earlier versions of Objectify can only run in App Engine, apps that
use version 6 and later can run in App Engine as well as other
environments that support Java 8.
If you plan to use Objectify, it's recommended that you use version 6
or later.
