See the table here: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/modules/#scaling_types and look at the entry marked "Background Threads." There's also a limit on the number of threads you can run: http://stackoverflow.com/a/20896720 For managed VMs, you can essentially run anything you want, however you want it. If you want to open up a ton of threads, that's perfectly fine within a managed VM. Depending on your use case, you may not be able the replicate the same in a regular instance. ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Consultant Chicago, IL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
