How to think in data stores instead of databases?

Question

As an example, Google App Engine uses Google Datastore, not a standard database, to store data. Does anybody have any tips for using Google Datastore instead of databases?

Take a look at the Objectify documentation. The first comment at the bottom of the page says:

"Nice, although you wrote this to describe Objectify, it is also one of the most concise explanation of appengine datastore itself I've ever read. Thank you."
