Sure, EC2 is predictable... it takes several minutes (plural) to spin up a VM and then your app. Remember, in EC2-land you have to wait for the OS to boot before your web application can start loading. No thanks. 20-second cold start times are annoying but not particularly terrible, as long as users don't have to see them. I feel confident that Goog will eventually fix whatever it is misrouting user requests to unready instances. In the mean time, I've found that I can get very good performance by: * Using Auto/Auto * Deploying new code to a new version, hitting that new version to warm it up, then switching default versions I'd really like to automate this second step.
