Hi, i'm developing an application that will have 1 million request per day at least.
Every request will be charged to an account of my application. So if the request fails, the company loses money. Reading this group messages i am getting fear that my application will not work as i spect. For example this post o this other http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/0768f6cd7237829d# My question is the following: the paid applications have the same problems than the non paid applications? Can i pay to prevent those errors? I really want to deploy my app in appengine but the company obviously can't lose money. Is there any solution?
