The pricing model does not fit our needs, and that is even more locked in than the BigTable variant.

I'm happy to hear you dropped it for non-technical reasons, since I'm asking because I've chosen Datastore for an app because I care less about vendor lock-in than ease of operation, and it fits my pricing model perfectly, due to the app in question receiving (Bitcoin) payments that are charged a fee on a per-request/payment basis.

Hint: if you have technical reasons for avoiding GCP Datastore I'd be very interested in hearing about them

Google Cloud is the least geo-distributed provider around. Which is a major problem if your use case has requirements around (a) latency and (b) data locality due to legal requirements.

In 2017 they will finally have datacenters in Sydney, London, Singapore, Frankfurt etc.
