We have a similar problem. I've disabled the app, so all instances were turned off and upon enabling it again, there were instantly 8 instances running. We're also seeing weird behavior as it seems that not all instances have the same state (which really puzzles me, since the app is stateless). I thought it's a problem with cache (consequent reads yielded different results), but the problem remains without cache.
We're running Play 1.1 framework. On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 3:59 PM, Eduardo Perrino <eduardo.perr...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi!! > > We have problems with the instance feature of appengine.
