@mars: that's great that you made your app more robust... everyone else should follow! to find out more info, here's a great presentation that we gave at an App Engine meetup happened last year that includes more detail than the official docs: http://www.slideshare.net/jasonacooper/strategies-for-maintaining-app-engine-availability-during-read-only-periods
we generally only post to the DTN list... posting here became optional when that additional group was created. however as per the discussion b/w stephen and ikai, we'll X-post it here to the general group (but not necessarily the individual language runtime groups). we hope to, moving forward, continue to reduce the total number of read-only periods and optimistically want to remove them altogether. with that, we continue to recommend you use the HR datastore for your apps and move away from Master/Slave. -wesley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
