Hey Tolga, At this point, trying to change from backends to module would be more 1-1 help request than something suited for the google groups. I would suggest you go and ask this on Stack Overflow. Do note that we have some members of the support team on Stack Overflow answering questions, so you might end up getting help from the same people as you would get here (plus the added benefit of a bigger community of OTHER users to answer). Do take a second to read Stack's "how to ask <http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask>" article and make sure you abide by this.
Now, for the backends not starting when you want them to, I'm actually not sure you should be using the /_ah/start to send to your backend, but you should make the call yourself. The call to /_ah/starts is what tells your instance to start. In your instance itself, you should send a request to something else, that should be handled by your backend. This also could be an interesting question for Stack Overflow, but as backends are getting deprecated, chances are you'll get a similar answer to mine (ie: "why not change to modules?").
