Hi all, I just found myself writing code that would simulate deadlineexceeded errors and such, when I thought - wouldn't it be great if you could ask the dev server to sow some chaos? I'll never be able to accurately simulate outages, slow-downs, high-error rates, variable accuracy of the infrastructure-availability API, and all the possible varieties of misbehavior from the GAE infrastructure. But Google probably can.
What I'm imagining is asking the dev server to execute certain "degraded service" scenarios. So you could ask it to simulate "memcache instability" which would result in an unusually high number of cache misses, slow cache responses, and the occasional exception. Or you could ask it to simulate a "read only datastore" event. And so on - I think you guys get my point. Anyone else think this would be incredibly useful? -mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
