Hi Jeff,

min-idle instance is on automatic. Max is on two.
There is at least one request per minute for my "low-traffic app",

>From my perspective a very straight-forward application that shouldn't
have any problems on GAE. (Check: http://www.krisentalk.de/ if you
can speak German. ;) )

I'm surprised that you are still go with GAE for new applications?
You had your own "experiences" from what I saw on this list. ;)

I'm not recommending GAE anymore. I tell my customer to go with other
platforms. After one year following discussions and issues I don't thing
reliability will be improved on GAE in near future (at least for small
and mid-size applications).

Cheers
Mos
