The App Engine datastore is a schemaless object datastore, with no planned downtime, atomic transactions, high availability of reads and writes, eventual consistency for all queries except ancestor queries, and strong consistency for reads and ancestor queries. The Go interface includes an idiomatic means of storing and retrieving Go data structures.
