Datastore alike DB for minimum modification from a VM to GAE

Hello,

Few days ago, I set up a VM and it's running on Fedora right now. As it is very low end VM, my purpose for the VM is testing environment. I normally don't use any web server (i.e. Apache, Ngix) but golang itself.

For the DB side, I like datastore and want to use it with very minimum modification in case I migrate it to Google App Engine. I am currently thinking about using Bolt DB.

What would you do if you were I? Your suggestion would be great help. Thank you

BoltDb is a solid choice

Couldn't agree more, BoltDB is amazing. Plus it's a pure Go solution.

If you like GAE, maybe you should try AppScale (https://github.com/AppScale/appscale).

I'd recommend using the same DB for development, testing, and production.  If you're already using datastore, I'd continue to use it. 

Otherwise, like u/itsmontoya said, BoltDB is a solid choice.

Thank you all! Have a great Monday!
