I am evaluating whether GAE would be a good fit for an upcoming project. I was wondering how scaling across regions work with GAE? If I set my project location to US and then create an GAE instance and most access to the GAE is from EU will it automatically scale out to Europe? Or how does it work? If it was a on Compute Engine I believe I could have created multiple instances and then made a HTTP Load Balancer that would route the user to the closest instance based on proximity.
https://cloud.google.com/about/locations/ Reading the link above it says that it scales automatically within or accross multi-regional locations. What does that mean? Do I have to enable automatic scaling across regions? If so, how do I do that? And secondly, if it does handle automatic scaling across regions, the choice one makes for App engine location when creating a new project, is that irrelevant for a Google App Engine instance? I tried asking on Stackoverflow but without answer so I am turning to you in hope for an answer. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37849433/google-app-engine-multiple-regions Thank you in advance, Yon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
