Although I'm overall happy with GAE, and I know that the maintenance periods "only" affect M/S. And I don't mind the occasional one either. But I find it increasingly frustrating that they always have to be scheduled in the middle of the week, and during a time that most of our US clients would still call core working hours.
I am now pasting the third downtime notice in a month onto our application's dashboard. Yeah I know that one maintenance period didn't actually happen, but it was cancelled too late, all our clients had already gotten our downtime warning, which is almost as bad. I am wondering why these maintenance periods cannot be done on the weekend, or at least later during the day? How about 6pm to 8pm PST for instance? That's still late at night in Europe, it's just about as annoying for APAC, but at least it's a lot better for US users. And it's not *that* late so that East Coast Googlers have to get up in the dead of the night either. Or am mistaken and the typical usage pattern is "after hours", because nobody except for us dared to use GAE for an enterprise application? :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
