Hi All, I build a method for load balancing on GAE.
Why?: Yes, I understand that GAE auto scales on application demand. However, it does not balance in the sense of free quota usage. If your free quota app hits the quota limit, wouldn't it be nice to just use another project and that projects free quota? I built something to take advantage of the multiple projects, independent quota limits to use more "free" GAE usage and reduce the need for billable GAE usage. Let me explain: If your project runs out of free quota (and billing is disabled), the app stops functioning. While Google gives you the ability to create 25 different projects, each with an independent quota, none of these projects can share quota. Basically: using only 1 project does not mean you get 25 projects * 28 instance hours for that project. How it works: Basically there is one primary project that handles users (user creation, user sign in, user data, etc.). This project randomly chooses and assigns a secondary project for every use upon account creation. You can have a pool of secondary projects. Users are round-robin load balanced to each secondary to split the load and use more free quota (3 secondaryies = 150k datastore ops, for example).
