Go 1.11 has reached end of support
and will be deprecated
on January 31, 2026. After deprecation, you won't be able to deploy Go 1.11
applications, even if your organization previously used an organization policy to
re-enable deployments of legacy runtimes. Your existing Go
1.11 applications will continue to run and receive traffic after their
deprecation date. We
recommend that you migrate to the latest supported version of Go.
Reading and Writing Temporary Files
While Cloud Storage
is the recommended solution for reading and writing files in App Engine,
if your app only needs to write temporary files, you can use standard
Go 1.11 methods to write files to a directory named /tmp.
All files in this directory are stored in the instance's RAM, therefore writing
to /tmp takes up system memory. In addition, files in the /tmp directory are
only available to the app instance that created the files. When the instance is
deleted, the temporary files are deleted.
