Hi Robert, thanks for your answer.
My application is a demo of a supervised natural language processing tool. The main instance requires access to a) - a training model - the size may vary, but in general several megabytes. b) - a language model - in this case a vocabulary of terms and their relations, stored in a RDF format. Also several megabytes. This data only needs to be initialized twice. The vocabulary has database format, but the training model is a serialized Java object. So, I'm not sure if much can be done here. The application runs fine on my machine, so I guess one alternative would be to install appengine on non-Google server and run it there? By the way, I did my internship at Google New York and back then wrote a similar python app, which run on the internal Google appengine fine (perhaps with an extended threshold). Is it possible to apply for an exception in extending the timeout? Thanks for your help Alyona On Feb 5, 9:19 am, Robert Kluin <[email protected]> wrote: > You can not change the timeout.
