GAE has drastically changed the way MEMCACHE works; as a result my application (ogeekcom) overall usage jumped by approximately 5 times with the same approximate bandwidth output. Like a 400% increase in price.
Specifically, they are purging shared memcache very aggressively -- possible in an effort to force people to signup for paid memcache. As a result of this change, my application is using many more datastore reads and many more instances to compensate for the poor memcache performance. Like always, this was done without any announcement at all. If they made this change to increase make applications cost more to run, it is illegal. There is no problem with them offering a premium service for memcache, but it is illegal to degrade the previous service to force people into the paid model. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
