Is db.get() faster than Model.get_by_key_name()? Currently we are using Model.get_by_key_name for querying over a Model. Sometimes it takes unacceptable time, but mostly it is good enough. The Model has fewer than four attributes, all text. There is a lot of data that is stored using this model and it is being read too often (more than 15 ~20 reqs per second), However the write rate is quite less ( less than 1 req per second). Current steps :- 1. We create the keyname (One string addition operation) 2. We use Model.get_by_key_name
Proposed steps :- 1. We create the keyname (One string addition) 2. We get the key from that keyname and the Model class, using Key.from_path() 3. We use db.get() and fetch the result. Correct me if i am wrong, but I think internally it goes via db.get() only and Model.get_by_key_name is an abstraction for that. So using db.get() will be faster and cheaper than Model.get_by_key_name. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
