I wouldn't count on this happening anytime soon. It would be difficult to maintain application performance with the datastore & memcache separated from the appserver on a latent connection. Remember that writes to the HR datastore (paxos) must reach a majority of nodes, and memcached is a single-homed. Splitting the typical application across multiple geographic regions would require a lot of cross-region communication. On the other hand, nothing prevents an application from being hosted wholly in a different region. G would just have to build out the datacenters, and you'd have to pick which region when you create your app. Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
