Hi Norlesh, I sent a request for GAE team through a CPU quota increase request form. i asked them about the memory issue. i got the below reply, which i still find a bot vague. can you have a look at it and tell me what you think
Google support reply: "Hi. Thank you for choosing App Engine to host your application. Apps with billing enabled are no longer limited to 500 requests per second. If you keep your average latency under 1000 ms, your app should be able to scale as high as necessary to handle the load. The best way to ensure your application scales is to keep all or most user-facing requests as short as possible, generally under 1 second, and move any long-running processes to the background using the task queue API. For more information, please consult the documentation and community forums. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/taskqueue/ http://code.google.com/appengine/community.html As far as RAM usage goes, it's pretty much whatever VM you have access to. You will get memory errors if you exceed the maximum amount, but we don't charge for memory usage otherwise. Thank you. -wesley, App Engine support team Original Message Follows: ------------------------ From: [email protected] Subject: App Engine CPU quota increase Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2010 14:23:16 +0000 > social network > > ApplicationIdentifier: not decided yet > AutoDetectedBrowser: Google Chrome 8 > AutoDetectedOS: Intel Macintosh OS X > IssueType: appengine > Language: en > bug: cpu > cause: I am trying to build a social network that is expected to reach > around 1 million users in 2 years.
