Immediate Consistency
Tunable Consistency

Immediate Consistency or Eventual Consistency depending on type of query and configuration

Strong Consistency is default for entity lookups and queries within an Entity Group (but can instead be made eventually consistent). Other queries are always eventual consistent.

Immediate Consistency

yes

User concepts

Access control

Only one user is configurable, and must be specified in the config file at startup

Fine grained user, group and file access rights managed across SQL (per ANSI standard) and NoSQL.

Access rights for users, groups and roles based on Google Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Users with fine-grained authorization concept, user roles and pluggable authentication
