I agree that from an API usage perspective the Datastore is a single global resource but typical single entity Datastore fetch times are less than intercontinental IP packet travel times which indicates that an App's web process and its associate data storage are geographically close. Maybe my assumption that GAE would spin up multiple web processes for a single app dispersed around the globe is incorrect. Perhaps each GAE app has a semi permanent geographic affinity for web and data tiers which eliminates the update uncertainty I alluded to in my original post. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
