Can I use Google App Engine's memcache service alongside the newly released memorystore with Redis?

140 Views Asked by At

I am interested in using Google's newly released memorystore with Redis for the new features on my app. However, I would still want my old code that use memcache to run without any changes. Is it possible to run memcache alongside memorystore? Or, would I have to completely migrate to memorystore to use it?

Although it is recommended to migrate from Python2 to Python3 and switch from Memcache to Memorystore solution you can still use both I believe. You will need to setup VPC connector in order to be able to connect to Memorystore from App Engine and install required dependancies. The step-by-step process is described here
