I'm storing dates in Google Cloud Datastore using the Go client library. The dates are managed in the go code as time.Time type. What is a bit unclear from the documentation is how the dates are retrieved. The docs says they are retrieved as local time and my question is: "local time of the server or the client?"
Also, I would expect the date to be retrieved with the same locale as saved.
The datastore package sets the time's location to the local location of the Go program.
More details:
Times are saved as Unix nanoseconds in the datastore service. The location is not saved.
The datastore package uses the time.Unix function to convert Unix nanoseconds to a time.Time value. The time.Unix function sets the location to the local location.
