Yeah, this is absolutely killing me. Killing me. I'm doing two queries, for instance, where there are 50 records coming back each, and JSON'ning them up to be sent back to the client. This shouldn't be too bad, right? And the query they're for is an = on a list property and an order on an ID, property, and it's got its own index even.
Time: 1410cpu_ms 1368api_cpu_ms Argh! I even spent a bunch of time porting my app to the Java framework to reduce the amount my app's taking up. So as you can see, my app is taking 42 ms and the API is taking 1368 ms. Most of which it's doing sitting around waiting for the datastore. And seriously, it shouldn't be taking 1.368 seconds to do what I'm doing anyway. Please, can we get billing changed so that time the web server spends sitting around waiting for results is not billed to us? After all, that isn't really CPU time we're costing Google since it's freely available for other processes. Please? :( Anthony On Jul 9, 6:27 pm, Alex Popescu <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I have a cron op that is fetching some records for an entity and does > some processing on them. > > While checking my app logs I have noticed that for the trivial case > when no result is returned (and so there is no additional processing > done) this operation is billed constantly with something between > 1300ms and 1400ms. > > This basically tells me that this is the initial cost of a roundtrip > to the datastore (plus basic request dispatching; note: the response > doesn't have any data). > > Based on this I can further deduce that on a daily basis the free CPU > quota will allow me to run around 18k datastore roundtrips with 0 > results. > > How do you comment on this data when compared with the public > announcements you've done in the past about the amount of requests an > app can serve based only on free quota? > > ./alex > -- > .w( the_mindstorm )p. > Alexandru Popescu > > PS: I have argued (and I continue to believe) that billing for CPU > time is completely incorrect to app engine customers and that Google > should look into some alternative > options:http://themindstorms.blogspot.com/2009/06/open-letter-to-google-app-e... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
