## What it is
A boilerplate project template for running Flask applications on Google App Engine's Standard Python 2.7 runtime. It is deprecated as of 2020 due to Python 2 end-of-life and has been supplanted by cloud-starterkit-flask-appengine.

## Use cases
- start a flask app on google app engine
- boilerplate template for flask on gae
- deploy python 2.7 flask app to app engine standard
- scaffold flask project structure with app.yaml
- template for gae python 2.7 web app

## When to choose
- you must maintain a legacy Python 2.7 App Engine Standard app
- you want a historical reference for Flask-on-GAE project structure

## When to avoid
- starting any new project (it is deprecated)
- you need Python 3 support on App Engine
- you want to deploy on App Engine Flexible environment
- you need an actively maintained template
