Fellow App Engine Gurus,

We're happy to announce the next generation of App Engine Managed Backends. These Backends utilize the App Engine VM Runtime, allowing developers to run Backends on Compute Engine VMs. By building on top of Compute Engine VMs, developers can:

take advantage of higher CPU and memory
rely on longer-lived processes
utilize a local filesystem
communicate via native network stacks
execute external processes
access the entire JRE
upload arbitrary Python extensions

Given that these are App Engine Backends, you can still use all the App Engine APIs to access the existing managed services (Datastore, Task Queues, Memcache, etc.)
