Hi, I wish to set up a CPU-intensive time-important query service for users on the internet. Is GAE with Java the right choice? (as compared to other clouds, or non-cloud architecture) Specifically, in terms of: 1) pricing 2) latency resulting from slow CPU, JIT compiles, etc.. 3) latency resulting from communication of processes inside the cloud (e.g. a queuing process and a calculation process) 4) latency of communication between cloud and end user
A usage scenario I am expecting is: - a typical user sends a query (XML of size around 1K) once every 30 seconds on average, - Each query requires a numerical computation of average time 0.2 sec and max time 1 sec (on a 1 GHz Pentium). The computation requires no data other than the query itself. - The delay a user experiences between sending a query and receiving a response should be on average no more than 2 seconds and in general no more than 5 seconds. - A background save to a DB of the response should occur (not time critical) - There can be up to 30000 simultaneous users - i.e., on average 1000 queries a second, each requiring an average 0.2 sec calculation, so that would necessitate around 200 CPUs. Is this feasible on GAE Java? If so, where can I learn about the correct design methodology for such a project on GAE? If this is the wrong forum to ask this, I'd appreciate redirection.
