Deploy a single GAE app over multiple regions

I would like to deploy a single GAE app (an API that will use datastore and GS) in US and EU. Datastore/GS buckets should be synchronized across EU and US regions.

I found that:

  1. You can't have modules in different regions.
  2. You can't sync datastore/GS buckets out of the box across two regions.

Is there any simple and elegant solution for doing this without writing my own synch mechanism ?

Is there a hidden reason for ignoring these cross datacenter necessities by AWS and GAE ? AWS came out with an S3 replication solution only in march 2015, GAE doesn't offer any chance to sync data across regions. Am I the only one who need to distribute a single application across the globe at low latency or maybe for consistence ?

App Engine is not multi-regional.

https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/locations

Google Cloud Storage does not offer a storage class that spans US & Europe or US & Asia.

Cloud Datastore does not offer a mode that spans US & Europe or US & Asia.

https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/locations

The only pointer I can offer is Google Cloud Spanner which is a relational database service for regional and global application data. To meet all of the requirements you listed you'll have to roll your own, unfortunately.
