Hello, I have a Java application which happily runs in the free tier of Google App Engine. In the past I've encountered some spikes - from that moment I've enabled the paid tier with a small daily budget. So, although I have allocated some $$$ for daily spikes, my application runs in the free-quote range for most of its life.
My problem is task queues. For example, I have a queue with bucket size "20", rate "1/s" and max concurrency "1". When this queue gets something like 10-20 tasks (each task takes some seconds to execute), I see an actual processing rate of "1 / minute" - yes, per minute. In the same time, the running instance does no work at all and GAE makes no attempt to start a second instance - to "maybe" boost the processing rate in order to try and align with the "1/s" configured rate. Here is a log of the workload and the processing ratio - check the hours / minutes: I 2015-12-16 11:55:50.488 200 0 B 3.19 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W475967 I 2015-12-16 11:54:06.255 200 0 B 14.67 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476837 I 2015-12-16 11:53:10.281 200 0 B 4.65 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476829 I 2015-12-16 11:52:11.583 200 0 B 9.21 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476800 I 2015-12-16 11:51:11.480 200 0 B 5.25 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476697 I 2015-12-16 11:50:11.377 200 0 B 5.47 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476678 I 2015-12-16 11:49:11.311 200 0 B 4.68 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476660 I 2015-12-16 11:48:11.216 200 0 B 10.97 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476523 I 2015-12-16 11:47:11.143 200 0 B 2.76 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476522 I 2015-12-16 11:46:11.048 200 0 B 6.3 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476394 I 2015-12-16 11:45:10.945 200 0 B 3.41 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476391 I 2015-12-16 11:44:10.921 200 0 B 6.2 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476361 I 2015-12-16 11:43:10.817 200 0 B 2.68 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476359 I 2015-12-16 11:42:10.713 200 0 B 6.21 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476345 I 2015-12-16 11:41:10.696 200 0 B 438 ms /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476252 I 2015-12-16 11:40:10.593 200 0 B 6.41 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W476130 F 2015-12-16 11:40:01.720 500 0 B 8.8 s /tasks/EventProcessor?eventId=W475967 Why doesn't GAE respect the defined ratio? Am I doing something very wrong? Have I missed anything? Does this happen because the actual processing takes seconds instead of ms? Should I leave automatic scaling behind and move to custom scaling? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
