> Thanks alot, Brandon, for the excellent advice. I am considering making an auto responder:
Dear Google App Engine Patron, Thank you for your inquiry about why your GAE experience sucks. It appears from your posting that you are running on Master Slave. We regret to inform you that any issues you have are related to this decision which you made early on in your work with GAE and you will continue to regret this decision until you move to High Replication. If you are unwilling, or unable to move off of Master / Slave we make the following suggestions: Make a Funny Custom Error page with lots of pop-ups so that you can monetize your downtime. Mark scheduled downtimes on the calendar in advance and claim they are religious holidays (Google is God, and if God is resting so should you) Modify your code to work in a read only, mode so that maintenance has minimal impact. Put Migration to High Replication on your roadmap, schedule a vacation during the month the migration is scheduled to take place so it is someone else's problem. In the unlikely event that you still believe the Master Slave offers the best choice for your application we might suggest you visit a psychiatrist, or a neurologist as clearly your brain is also experiencing some sort of malfunction. We are aware that Master Slave sounds much sexier than High Replication. We are also aware that replication is what threatened the SyFy Stargate:SG1 Universe, but we remind you that was a work of fiction. Have a great day, and we thank you for your continued patronage. Google App Engine Volunteer Support (We are in no way affiliated with Google, and we don't really volunteer any support) PS Did you like that marketing thing Google did where they pre-select High Replication, then on the Master Slave description imply that Master Slave will cost 1/3 as much, but with downtime and performance issues it actually costs more? Yeah, we wish we thought of it too. We'd do similar things with our marketing but Google probably patented it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
