Interactive console on deployed GAE app

Question

When you're testing a GAE app locally, there's an "Interactive Console" that you can use to run arbitrary code inside your application. Is there a way to do this for a deployed GAE app on appengine.google.com?

It would be useful to to be able to do datastore operations on a live application in the console.

Answer 1

You can make the dev_appserver console available on production, add something like this to your app.yaml:

- url: /admin/.*
script: google.appengine.ext.admin.application
login: admin

Answer 2

Try that Appstats playground. https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/appstats
