Marzia - That is great news.
Will this also help with genuine traffic spikes? A simple application I use to test, which does a single datastore fetch for 5 items that are a few bytes each, and stores it in memcache for 10 seconds, can go over quota by a simple ab -c 30 -n 10000. I've tried with a very gradual ramp up, being very careful not to trigger high cpu spawn warnings, but regardless, after a while, it will just start spewing them all over and the app dies. This is with a constant load after build up, not a spike. I'm hoping you can confirm that said fix will also solve that issue? - Thomas On Sep 24, 6:42 pm, "Marzia Niccolai" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > We've identified an issue that can cause an application to hit one of our > short-term quotas after a very sudden spike in traffic, which would prevent > it from serving for a short time.
