If you are already at the CPU limits, you either have a very processing-intensive app, or a very popular app. (The dashboard has never shown anything but 0% for my app.) If it's processor intensive, then you have a problem - processing cost money, no matter whether you do it on your own server, or someone elses. You need to rewrite (I know you don't want to hear that!) in C, and find a platform that lets you do that. If your app is popular, then stick an ad on the top of it and you'll cover your costs and more. My feeling is that many people see GAE as free/cheap hosting. It can be, but it's real power is as a application platform that allows developers to take apps to market without a sysadmin - you just don't need to worry about clustering databases, DOS attacks, firewalls, patching the OS... Just think about how much a good night's sleep is worth to you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
