The way I understand it, GAE spins up and spins down servers to meet the needs of an app - or even just because it feels like it. What effects does this have on the *persistent* scopes (sorry Sean I know you hate them being called that :) like application and session? More specifically:
- Are those scopes synchronized between machines? That is, could application.myvariable return different values depending on which machine it pulls it from? What about session scope? - Will the app scope be reset quite often as machines spin up and down? - Will it be the recommendation of openbd to favor memcached instead of those scopes? Which leads me to my next question: what's the status and plans for memcached integration? Will it be transparently linked to the app scope, or will there be a specific set of functions to interact with it? For now, should I just use the datastore as my cache instead of app scope, session scope or memcached?
