One of the major reasons I went with Google AppEngine over other possible solutions was that I believed that I wouldn't have to worry about capacity issues. If I wrote to the GAE API, my app would work just as well for 10, 100, or 1000 users. My application is the back- end content delivery system for an iPhone application, and when Verizon users started coming online last Thursday my GAE traffic went crazy. Here's a chart:
https://skitch.com/smeans/rqugd/dashboard-coolibah-gallery My third-party monitoring service (Pingdom) has reported several outages since then (one of about 55 minutes.) I've authorized plenty of daily budget for my app, and done my best to use memcache, etc. to keep the performance up. Now, I'm afraid to do anything to disturb my application configuration. I haven't made any changes to my inventory, etc. because I don't want to invalidate cache and possibly end up with another major outage like I experienced Friday. How can I separate problems due to Google infrastructure from problems due to my application architecture? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
