As an SEO, not as an app developer. I have billed more money to clients fixing issues caused by cloudflare than the client ever hoped to gain by using it. When it screws up and serves a search bot with a captcha page your world ends.
As an App Developer, Google Edge Cache built in to Appengine does 70% of what CloudFlare does for scaling. And just blacklisting bad bot IP's and UserAgents will get you 25% of the way.

But still very interested in any information about this potential problem. Thanx in advance.

Martino, you could collect as much debugging information as possible when this happens again and submit a Production issue to the App Engine issue tracker. I guess the following information will help: 1) the request URL 2) the client's IP address 3) the exact time when the error occurred 4) the full error message or a screenshot 5) mention that the request came through CloudFlare 6) the outgoing CloudFlare IP address for that specific request (extracted from CloudFlare logs, perhaps with the help of their customer support) Please post to the group if you find out anything new about what can cause the error on the Google side and whether it can be related to CloudFlare. I'm interested in the details, too, because I'm planning to use a reverse proxy in front of App Engine. -- Alexander -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
