Cloud NDB is intended as a migration tool for App Engine NDB users who wish to move to either newer versions of App Engine (App Engine Python 3) or to other environments. Customers are welcome to use Cloud NDB however they wish, including on totally new projects that aren't associated with GAE NDB. However, Cloud NDB will not add support for any new features that might be added to Cloud Datastore in the future, because that wouldn't further the goal of aiding migration from GAE NDB; also the NDB concurrency model was designed around GAE Python 2.7 limitations and might not be the best model for greenfield projects with no history rooted in App Engine. We recommend the use of the Cloud Datastore library for new projects when possible.
