Originally set to 5: 2011-08-31 23:15:59 ad...@everpix.net Changed Performance Settings max_idle_clones=5, min_pending_latency=0.10 Then looking at estimated new-pricing bills, I figured that's looks very expensive, let's reduce this as much as possible for now: 2011-09-01 00:08:03 ad...@everpix.net Changed Performance Settings max_idle_clones=3, min_pending_latency=0.10 2011-09-01 18:44:01 ad...@everpix.net Changed Performance Settings max_idle_clones=2, min_pending_latency=0.10 2011-09-03 12:07:44 ad...@everpix.net Changed Performance Settings max_idle_clones=1, min_pending_latency=0.10 2011-09-03 12:08:15 ad...@everpix.net Changed Performance Settings max_idle_clones=2, min_pending_latency=0.10 Then 2 days before our public launch at TechCrunch Disrupt, change of mind: now we need a minimum of 5 instances all the time, just in case: 2011-09-10 10:16:23 ad...@everpix.net Changed Performance Settings max_idle_clones=5, min_pending_latency=0.10 The next morning, I look at the graph (attached to previous post), realize it's obviously not working and decide to re-enable "always-on" in billing so we at least get 3. 2011-09-11 09:47:15 ad...@everpix.net Changed Performance Settings max_idle_clones=5, min_pending_latency=0.10 2011-09-11 09:47:03 ad...@everpix.net Changed Performance Settings max_idle_clones=5, min_pending_latency=0.10 And I post to the mailing list a few minutes later at 9:53AM I guarantee you min-instances was set to 5 in the dashboard for all the duration of the previously attached graph :) On Sep 12, 10:36 am, Jon McAlister <jon...@google.com> wrote: > Nevermind, I remember, it's everpix-alpha. > > I see that min-idle-instances was removed on 2011/08/31-19:49:59 and > then set to 3 on 2011/09/11-09:47:38.
