Re: [google-appengine] Google Apps No Longer Free
Hi Vinny, On 22/01/15 04:22, Vinny P wrote: You're talking about the difference between adding the domain as a secondary domain/adding it as an alias domain, correct? Yes, I think so - don't recall the term secondary, but looking at a paid Google apps account, the option is described as: - Add another domain Manage users and groups at an associated domain that you own, independently of the primary domain. ...so I think we're talking about the same thing. To connect a domain name to App Engine, it's always been recommended to use the domain as a primary or an alias domain on Apps. Configuring it as a secondary domain might give you distinct email accounts, but in my experience that introduces strange issues for Apps management and config - not only for App Engine but other services as well. I understand your point, but at the same time I think the change helps streamline Apps and probably helps reduce support costs as well. Frankly, I've always thought it was strange that Apps had 3 different ways (primary, secondary, alias) of configuring domains. Re. problems, I haven't experienced those, but to be honest that's probably because I'm not doing anything very complicated. Re. helps streamline Apps and probably helps reduce support costs, I don't honestly see that - this change makes the grandafathered free versions different from the standard version in functionality as opposed to numerical limits (which is surely /less/ streamlined), and given that were are talking about the unpaid versions I don't supposed an enormous amount of resource goes into support. FWIW, although Google have been silent on this issue, there is some suggestion in the support forums that this was done to prevent abuse, specifically to prevent people selling free apps accounts and using this mechanism to switch domains. If that's the case, I'm a little perplexed - seems like a crude way of combating the problem, and it seems like a problem that is self-limiting in the sense that there can only be a finite no. of these account out there. More to the point, I feel as though I'm being punished for someone else's misbehaviour, and that Google haven't been entirely straight about the fact, the timing, or the rationale for the change. It might seem churlish complaining about tweaks to a free service, and I absolutely do appreciate the fantastic freebie that apps for domains was (and continues to be, up to a point), but it does constitute a change when we were told the service would be unchanged, and it does make my existing accounts much less useful for my purpose, in part because this has diminished my confidence in continuity of service. If you absolutely must have free email accounts, I would suggest looking at your registrar - GoDaddy and other registrars occasionally have sales where they bundle free email or another service with the purchase of a domain. It's entirely possible to configure an alias domain, use it for an App Engine site, but to use an external mail service for that domain. Sure - I run a bunch of servers with Virtualmin on them, so giving people the ability to create multiple email addresses is not an issue. For me the issue is that I was able to set up projects with a domain name, probably only two or three users (one of them me), and hand it over the user as a coherent whole, where the Google Apps account let them manage their domain, email, apps and - in some cases - App Engine apps with a single account. Knitting together multiple services is fiddly for me, and the result is messier for my users. What I've come to realise is that the Google account within the Apps domain was the valuable bit - without that, its easier to host and deploy elsewhere. Having said all the above, I recognise that I'm probably not that great a fit for App Engine, and that this change has just made that clear to me - my point is merely that this is an unannounced change to the service, and that for some of us it means that these grandfathered accounts are no longer useful for new projects. -- Regards, PhilK 'a bell is a cup...until it is struck' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

Google recently disabled the ability to add an additional domain to an existing account - you can now add an alias domain, but not a domain with distinct email addresses. Whilst this is a PITA in my particular circumstances, it's not a huge deal - but there was no announcement, and Google's support folks are pretending that it has always been that way, which is simply not true. This has considerably reduced my faith in Google's commitment to not reducing the functionality of these grandfathered accounts, and I've essentially stopped starting up new projects in them. -- Regards, PhilK 'a bell is a cup...until it is struck' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

[google-appengine] Outage - Python 2.7, HRD. CloudSQL
Hi, I've had an outage now since approximately 00:50am UK time - Pingdom tells me that the app is up and down, but in reality it isn't serving pages. Looking at logs, I see a wide variety of errors, even though every hit is to the home page or redirected to the login page (just monitor hist and login attempts). It really isn't consistent enough for me to feel that my previously happy app has an issue, and in fact the errors are primarily time-outs or throw tracebacks related to framework code making a DB connection. Errors spotted so far are are: - - Deadline exceeded - Exceeded soft private memory limit with 154.66 MB after servicing 1 requests total - File /python27_runtime/python27_lib/versions/1/google/storage/speckle/python/api/rdbms.py, line 967, in _MakeRetriableRequest raise _ToDbApiException(sql_exception) InternalError: (0L, u'Connection is already in use.') ...none of which I've seen before. I'm hoping matters will improve, and fortunately am not (yet) under too much pressure but wanted to ask: - - Is anyone else seeing this? - Is there a known issue with Cloud SQL? (When it gets as far as an error, RDBMS connection seems to be the issue) - Is there anything useful I can do other than wait? -- Regards, PhilK 'a bell is a cup...until it is struck' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.
