This would be fantastic, if one were able to select between the two configurations in the same App. That would make it possible for one to have a "regular" and a "failsafe" version of a database, where the failsafe version is updated less frequently. This makes sense for a number of my apps in which it is helpful to give users access to some basic data even if the system is basically "down." Thanks also for the nice postmortem. So far, one of the best things about using App Engine has been the openness with which information is provided to users. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
