Google Cloud Datastore
I think Google Cloud Datastore has some pros and cons as like anything. To me personally it is very mediocre, but I am required to use it by the organization. I would like to use GCP products less as they are not [mediocre] value for money. In terms of Datastore, I haved face problems while creating and managing data sets and models.

Cons
Google Cloud Datastore
- Google's support is not the best; most of the time, you would be scrambling to talk to someone but would end up with long email chains with support.
- Better querying features are needed.

For the amount of use we're getting from Google Cloud Datastore, switching to any other platform would have more cost with little gain. Not having to manage and maintain Google Cloud Datastore for over 4 years has allowed our teams to work on other things. The price is so low that almost any other option for our needs would be far more expensive in time and money.

Google Cloud Datastore is a fully managed, schemaless database for storing non-relational data. You should feel at home if you are familiar with relational databases, but there are some key differences to be aware of to make the most of using Datastore.The goal of Google Cloud is to provide an API that is comfortable to Rubyists. Your authentication credentials are detected automatically in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including Google Compute Engine (GCE), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Google App Engine (GAE), Google Cloud Functions (GCF) and Cloud Run. In other environments you can configure authentication easily, either directly in your code or via environment variables.

Google Cloud Datastore
We selected Google Cloud Datastore as one of our candidates for our NoSQL data is because it is provided by Google Cloud, which fits our needs. Most of our infrastructure is on Google Cloud, so when we think about the NoSQL database, the first thing we thought about is Google Cloud Datastore. And it proves itself.
