Any plans to support the cloud endpoints with the standard env? Wondering if the new runtime would be able to be embed that. That would be only reason for me not to switch from flex env.

(GAE PM)

Cloud Endpoints currently runs on GAE Standard Gen 1 and GAE Flex. We're investigating a solution for GAE Standard Gen 2 (which go 1.11 is, along with python 3.7, node 8, etc.) and GCF.

Thanks for the clarification. Wasn’t aware that it works with Go on Standard Gen 1.

Any ETA for Gen 2 or alpha signup?

Clarification: GAE Standard uses the Endpoints framework, which is Python and Java only (https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/frameworks/about-clo...). Sorry for the confusion.

Flex uses ESP (https://github.com/cloudendpoints/esp), which is deployed as a sidecar, and works with any runtime.

As for EAP: unfortunately not. Personally, I'd like to see a managed version as opposed to the current framework or sidecar approach, as it'll be easier to implement across products, but that means it'll likely take a little longer.
