This is a sample app for Google App Engine that demonstrates how to replace

use of the [Memcache API](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/memcache)

with the [Memorystore for Redis offering](https://cloud.google.com/memorystore).

This newer library can be used on App Engine with either Python 2.7

or Python 3.

Prior to deploying this sample, a

[serverless VPC connector](https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/configure-serverless-vpc-access)

must be created and then a

[Memorystore for Redis instance](https://cloud.google.com/memorystore/docs/redis/quickstart-console)

on the same VPC. The IP address and port number of the Redis instance, and

the name of the VPC connector should be entered in either app.yaml

(for Python 2.7) or app3.yaml (for Python 3).

To deploy and run this sample in App Engine standard for Python 2.7:

pip install -t lib -r requirements.txt

gcloud app deploy

To deploy and run this sample in App Engine standard for Python 3.7:

gcloud app deploy app3.yaml
