Hey Greg, Will we be able to adjust the scheduler for each version of our application? Two use-cases come to mind: 1) different options for Python / Go / Java versions of an app, and 2) different options for 'front-end' versions serving user traffic and processing tasks. Would be nice so that

For instance, for a B4 (approx 2.4GHz) instance: consuming 10 Mcycles/request = 240 request/second/Instance, 100 Mcycles/request = 24 request/second/Instance, etc. We are only planning on having one size of Frontend Instance. Q: So, is a Frontend Instance going to be a B4? Even if the CPU is

Hi! Under the new model for the Datastore API calls, does it mean that I don't care anymore about performing operations in batches? So in terms of costs db.get(key1); db.get(key2) is essentially the same as db.get([key1, key2])? Thank you! On 18 May 2011 07:49, Gregory D'alesandre

Hi Greg, Can you raise On-demand Frontend Instances free quota to 25 Instance Hours per day? The small apps have very low traffics in average, but sometime (maybe several minutes) it may use more than 1 instances to handle burst traffics, so that they will got OverQuotaErrors at the end of the

Hey Maxim, Batch calls can reduce your latency allowing your app to service requests much faster -- so batching is still going to be a good idea. Also, be sure to check out the async db methods, they can help reduce latency even further. Robert On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 02:54, Maxim

Hello All! As you've likely heard, when Google App Engine leaves Preview in the second half of 2011, the pricing model will change. Prices are listed here: http://www.google.com/enterprise/appengine/appengine_pricing.html. But that leaves a lot of questions unanswered, this FAQ is intended to

Greg, Still not clear on the datastore costs. For this you say, This means the cost of your queries will be tied exclusively to the size of your result set. Is this the same whether you return just the keys (keys only query) or also the entities. It seems like it should not be the same since a
