I work on Google Cloud Platform, and I don&#x27;t see any of the things you mentioned about App Engine.  If you want a larger memory footprint, I suggest you look at the Flexible Environment (formerly Managed VMs), which lets you use any size VM you like.<p>We also have new Cloud Platform client libraries for many languages - start at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;</a> for Go, PHP, Java, Python, .NET, Ruby and Javascript (Node.js)<p>App Engine hasn&#x27;t stood still. I&#x27;d encourage you to take another look.
