note that I was quoting the blogger. I'm not replying for him, but I'm in the same situation. It's not that I'm blaming GAE because I hate google. I love google products, that's why we choose gae in the first place. Moving out from gae it would be very painful for us, as sure it was for the blogger. It's not a decision that someone take because he's misread a post. >> this is our same experience. We're willing to pay for our application >> being available but this is not possible.

Mine was, if you can believe me. Now maybe it's around 30 sec. on peak time. Maybe it was because it was new, but still the terms are very obscure. Anyway also 1 minute is not acceptable for a commercial application, and I have no means to know when my application will reach that level of "reliability". > Deploy/redeploy generally refers to uploading a new set of code to you > instance.

We don't have any control, we don't know which level of service our application will have. We started one year ago thinking that GAE was only very young but things are going worse and worse. > Google don't claim to be a 5 9's provider for appengine service.

We worked 1 year with Gae, 20kloc application with Gwt. We though it could serve full size, professional applications. We were wrong. > 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. which size are your applications? how many users? Probably for small applications with many users GAE is ok. Anyway the biggest problem is not the recycling but times the site is completely down. Since July I lost the count, impossible to think to create a business on top of this. Uberto -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
