If you schedule writes it is not a big deal. I have several apps (admittedly not yet ported to GAE) that I only update the data from time to time.
Recipe Databases, little league stats. In those cases you just delay the write, no big deal.

Master-Slave Comparison. Is it worth extra cost? "Mission Critical" is just "PR packaging" around a simple fact that Master/Slave has serious performance issues and team is giving up on it. That was my read on the situation and now Ikal is confirming it. Ikal, thank you - it takes balls to admit a failure. This is a dev forum so no need to sugar coat things too much. I too feel like Darien mostly because 3x pricing bump for HR. I am not a all concerned about eventual consistency issues. Just wondering if you take a regular car with 4 wheels (M/S) and add 8 more wheels does it make it better? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
