I simply followed the advice kindly offered in this thread and experimented with lowering the max concurrent requests. Our best settings ended up being 2 max concurrent requests with 2 max idle instances.
I think an important part is that before this tweaking, we separated our front-end and task modules (recently renamed services) such that their instances could be completely independent. By taking those two steps, our front-end average latency fell from an average of 600ms to 180ms, and our daily instance costs went from $100 to $30. So performance improved while cutting costs by >60%. We're pretty happy with the results. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
