Hi everyone, I've inherited an application built on GAE that has an abnormally high startup time due to intense processing to fill a local cache. Standard GAE instances were not working for us, so we had to move to backends. I have a couple of questions:
1) If our traffic spikes to levels higher than the backend can handle, does GAE do anything? I've noticed during higher traffic, our instance being terminated often (_ah/stop). This means 10-20 minutes while a new instance spins up, and our app is down. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm guessing I will need to put up more backends. :( 2) Is there any way to configure auto scaling of backends so that I don't have to pay for several instances just hanging around during low traffic hours?
