Hi, i spent quite some time optimising datastore access since it was so unreliabale in the past weeks. Now using memcache intensely throughout the application. Only to find out that memcache has been flaky for some 4 hours now, with error rates between 10% and 70%. What's the recommended strategy to dealing with a situation like this?
Since the memcache isn't entirely down, I don't want to take the app down just just yet. But it would be great if I could at least show an automated warning sign (this happened over night). The Capabilities API only has "enabled" or "disabled" -- it would be nice if you could query the error rate just as it shows up on the system status. Or do some other tools or libs exist (I'm on Java..)? I'm open to other ideas, how does everyone else deal with this outages and error rates? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Per PS: While I'm at it, let me also express my frustration at the system status page. Only 10 minutes ago there was a 70% error rate spike, but the overall status is "Green" again. I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow the system status is "all Green" for today as well, despite these serious problems. I understand that errors occur (and that you're working hard at fixing them), but it leaves an odd aftertaste if these errors get glossed over after a while. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
