gcloud-aio-datastore
Python Client for Google Cloud Datastore
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive MIT license, and addresses a clear need for async Datastore access in Python. It supports current Python versions (3.10 through 3.14) and has no known vulnerabilities. Install it if you need asyncio-compatible Google Cloud Datastore access.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; gcloud-aio-auth must be installed as a runtime dependency.
- Low friction install with a single runtime dependency (gcloud-aio-auth).
- Active maintenance with a recent release 36 days ago and last commit on 2026-08-14.

Verify before relying
pip install gcloud-aio-datastore
from gcloud.aio.datastore import Datastore
datastore = Datastore(project='my-project')
# Use datastore for operations- Whether the package supports both asyncio and threadsafe patterns equally or if one is primary
- Specific Datastore operations supported (query, get, put, delete, transactions, etc.)
- Performance characteristics or throughput limits compared to official Google client
- Whether gcloud-aio-auth provides all required authentication mechanisms for Datastore
What it is and what it does
gcloud-aio-datastore is a Python client for Google Cloud Datastore that provides both asyncio and threadsafe access patterns. It wraps the Google Cloud Datastore API and is part of a shared codebase also used by gcloud-rest-datastore, allowing developers to choose between async or synchronous patterns depending on their application architecture.
The package depends only on gcloud-aio-auth for authentication and is actively maintained with support for Python 3.10 through 3.14. It is intended for developers building applications that need to interact with Google Cloud Datastore, whether in async event-loop contexts or traditional threaded environments.
Use it for
- Building async applications that query or store data in Google Cloud Datastore
- Migrating from synchronous to async code while maintaining Datastore access
- Serverless functions that need lightweight Datastore clients
- Batch data operations with async concurrency to improve throughput
