* Rich Admin Dashboard - View entity statistics, query your database, view indexes, and backup/restore your data. * Multiple Access Methods - Access your data via our JSON API, open-source clients, or community maintained ORMs (Objectify, NDB). * Fully Managed - Cloud Datastore is fully managed, which means Google automatically handles sharding and replication in order to provide you with a highly available and consistent database. * Diverse Data Types - Datastore supports a variety of data types, including integers, floating-point numbers, strings, dates, and binary data among others. * ACID Transactions - Ensure the integrity of your data by executing multiple datastore operations in a single transaction with ACID characteristics, so all the grouped operations succeed or all fail.

* Easier, Faster Development - Iterate faster by leveraging a flexible data model and a powerful query language to write less code, avoid database changes. * Flexible Data Modeling - Add features by extending the data model to nest or reference data, or by adding new indexes and queries on the same data. * Powerful Querying & Indexing - Perform complex queries, with or without joins, and benefit from a built-in query editor and schema browser - no code required. * SQL Integration & Migration - Migrate relational data and queries as is, continue to leverage enterprise BI and reporting tools with full support for SQL. * Big Data Integration - Integrate with Spark, Kafka, and Hadoop to enrich, distribute, and analyze operational data streams in real time. * Mobile / IoT Extensions - Simplify mobile development by leveraging a cross-platform, embedded database with automatic synchronization to the cloud. * Elastic Scalability - Scale easily, efficiently and reliably, from a few nodes to many, one data center to multiple, all with "push button" simplicity.
