Hi I think you made some fairly inaccurate statements here.
I seriously doubt anyone from google would have said the following > In november, an engineer answered > in a forum that our website had to load into memory in less than 1 > second, as pretty much every request was loading a completelly new > instance of the site. 1 second? Maybe you are misinterpreting what they are saying. Apps should keep avg response to less than 1 sec if they want to get large rates of scaling. i have never seen them say you have to load a new instance in less 1 second. > > this is our same experience.

(7 apps and counting running at the moment) (the amount of time for recycling instances has varied from about 1 minute out to nearly 10 mins in the last 2 years) . I think you are also mixing terms here and could potentially confuse people. > redeployed: 5 second delay plus all memcached erased. > Deploy/redeploy generally refers to uploading a new set of code to you instance. I assume you mean starting a new instance. I have never seen memcache data dropped that quickly unless you are pushing the limits of memcache allocation (up around 1GB). Google don't claim to be a 5 9's provider for appengine service. But I think many people don't use the correct tool set, and don't try to understand how the platform really functions and how to take advantage of appengine. You comments about your experience with memcache data purging and app recycling doesn't match what I have experienced nor what I observe others have experienced.
