Your original requirements are quoted below (notice how it doesn't specify the choice of datastore/etc, it asks you where to store the user data): On Tue, May 26, 2015 at 7:04 AM, peter valencic <[email protected]> wrote: > *Describe how would you do the following: **1) use GAE services to store > user data (user himself and friend list)* > > *Where would you store user data?* > If you have free rein to choose the storage medium, pick Cloud SQL <https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/introduction>. It's basically MySQL in the cloud, and since you already claim experience in MySQL your knowledge is transferable. Bonus: the question about user badges is a relatively simple SQL statement away. Many GAE applications use Cloud SQL as their primary/only persistent data storage service.

In part (1) I apparently had free rein to choose whatever storage service I want, but in (2) I'm being constrained to the datastore. Yes, the deeper point of this question is how to save money by using memcache but I'm unclear if this is supposed to be a standalone question or if it builds upon (1)'s expected answer.
