ZODB on GCS
Is it possible to use ZODB with Google Cloud Storage? I can't seem to find any information anywhere about it and FileStorage only works with local files. Google App Engine does not support persisting local files.

Google cloud storage looks like an alternative to S3, which wouldn't be a backend for ZODB. OTOH, Google offers cloud versions of Postgres and MySQL which you should be able to use with RelStorage. http://relstorage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Indeed, GCS sits in the same space as S3: it uses "buckets" to store binary "blobs"/"objects". As one of the maintainers of the google-cloud-storage package, I can say pretty definitely that it wouldn't be suitable for a generic ZODB replacement. OTOH, I think it might be feasible to use GCS to handle ZODB blobs (which may be what @LoganDark was asking).

No, my question is exactly how I worded it: using ZODB entirely on Google Cloud Storage. Google App Engine does not support writing to the file system at all.
I'll check out relstorage.
