What is the difference between Google Cloud Bigtable and Google Cloud Datastore / App Engine datastore, and what are the main practical advantages/disadvantages? AFAIK Cloud
A relatively minor point to consider, as of November 2016, bigtable python client library is still in Alpha, which means the future change might not be backward compatible. Also, bigtable python library is not compatible with App Engine's standard environment. You have to use the flexible one.
