I am not sure whether I am missing any, after following the instructions given in https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/tools/datastore-emulator
I was not able to connect to local emulator unless I create Datastore explicitly using DataStoreClient.
DatastoreDb db = DatastoreDb.Create(projectId, string.Empty, new DatastoreClientImpl(
new Datastore.DatastoreClient(
new Channel("localhost", 8081, ChannelCredentials.Insecure)), new DatastoreSettings()));
instead of just DatastoreDb.Create(projectId);
If we are working in GKE for production, we need to connect to actual Datastore not an emulator, how do we differentiate between the two versions with same code base.
Is there a way to check if code is running GKE, or is this something that should be done via by an environment variable for best results.
