Hello,

We're trying to deploy a large project on app engine, and by this
time, we have an app engine version in internal testing. However, we
have a few concerns:

First, the information this gentleman expresses: http://aralbalkan.com/1504

Here is a quote - "You build an awesome new app on Google App Engine.
You tell your friends. They tell 1,000 of their friends on Twitter who
tell 1,000 of their friends and then, suddenly, you have all these
developers hitting Google App Engine for the first time to see your
app. Paradoxically, by doing that, they trigger the "intelligent
throttling" "feature" in Google App Engine which freaks out and shuts
down your app with an "Over Quota" error -- effectively making the
"Over Quota" message the first impression most of your audience has of
Google App Engine."

To what extent is this true? As paying customers with a sizable budget
(We're paying over $35,000 a month on our current host, bandwidth
exclusive), this is completely unacceptable.

I assumed that this might be true only for free accounts, but then one
of our engineers found this ->
http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/32876e345d075878/e2ec2e4fdd7ca3e0

This is a paying customer begging for your mercy to scale. He claims
he gets a Out of Quota error in 1 of 6 requests. This shows he isn't
really out o his daily Quota, but there is something else that's going
wrong.

It would be great i somebody from Google can comment on the validity o
the above concerns. We don't want to shift our entire business to app
engine and have our customers watch the "Out of Quota - App engine
errors". Frankly, this would be like BSOD of the web 2.0 world. :)
