I think they will be in business, but don't pretend products will be supported. Wouldn't surprise me if Datastore / App Engine go away in the future. The number of APIs I have had to migrate over the past 5 years using GCP is shameful:

- could no longer do code deploys on internal WebApps that were on old Python 2/3 images. Had to stick with that revision until we migrated to newer versions.

- had to migrate to a newer firebase messaging API recently - search features mostly killed on GCP, which is ironic. I guess we're supposed to build our own search or use a 3rd party? Postgres/Spanner full text search it is then.

Looking forward to having to migrate my gen1 cloud functions too! Keeps me employed I suppose.
