Except that if you need it to go to more than 1 you stop getting profit, and get suffering.

Depending on throughput requirements you can configure the instances property to run more than one instance in that higher class. Step 1. Configure backends.yaml backends: - name: medium class: B2 instances: 1 options: dynamic Step 2. Enqueue a task with target (using the python defer library in this example): defer(doSomethingBigger, _queue='some-queue-for-big-stuff', _target='medium') Step 3.

You use one backend instance to spin multiple F1 and/or F2 task queues because backends allow you to On Thursday, 29 November 2012 08:45:16 UTC+13, Andy wrote: Setting the "instances" option in the backends.yaml allows it to scale up that value. 15m penalty is well worth it because 99% of our traffic fits in an F1 but we had to run F2s previously to allow the 1% of the tasks to succeed. As a result our costs are roughly half as much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
