This has been discussed before but the problem still remains. It seems that GAE is no longer in a preview release version (as far as I can see). Having a cold start initiation time of 10 seconds is a major bottleneck.
Imagine if it took 10 seconds to load for example the Google Search index page in your browser. It doesn't sound like a very long time, but today that kind of load time for an index page is very poor performance. I understand that GAE cannot at the moment hold all applications hot/ warm, because that would require a lot more resources I assume. But I think the cold start time needs to be brought down to a maximum of around 2 seconds. It actually doesn't matter in many cases if an application is used by millions of users every day or only seldom by a few people. The load time for webpages is usually extremely important regardless the amount of traffic to a website. Each user's experience counts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
