I've been working for some time on an app I plan to deploy. Over the
development period I have done testing on the QA instance of my app (which
is a separate app ID from the one I'll use in production) but have not paid
serious attention to performance since the functionality wasn't yet

2) Set min instances to 1 (leave all other sliders at default values).
3) Save settings and wait for instance to spin up.
4) Issue one GET request from browser to a specific API endpoint. This is
an API call so it is not m

gone away. I know this is probably going to fall into the PEBCAK bucket,
but I really don't think I did anything in particular to cause the problem,
I spoke too soon. Some time after posting this, testing revealed more
problems. Upon diagnosis, it appears that GAE is too aggressive at
spinning up new instances even when the "auto/auto" setting is used,
although the behavior is less reproducible than when a min of 1 is set.
The only fix I
PS. I once again encountered evidence that appstats is causing requests to
fire even when I'm not actively using the management console, which is very
weird. I've turned off appstats because I didn't really find it all that
