It really depends on if you are making calls within App Engine Standard <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/> or App Engine Flexible <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/> as they both send/accept requests using different infrastructures.
- The App Engine Standard URLFetch infrastructure typically adds less than 1 ms latency overhead to HTTP requests. For URLFetch requests to other App Engine Standard services, I am seeing worst case ~8ms of latency in the 95th percentile (meaning 95 percent of URLFetch requests are under 8ms). Note that we do not guarantee any specific SLA on latency. - The App Engine Flexible environment uses Compute Engine <https://cloud.google.com/compute/> virtual machines that are behind their own gateway. I am seeing ~20ms serving latency for Flex apps in the US at the 99th percentile (meaning 99 percent of requests are under 20ms). There are many factors in App Engine that can be slowing down your ping, such as instance startup time (based on your code and runtime), scaling settings <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/config/appref#scaling_elements>, and instance class <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/#instance_classes>. Also your actual coding language adds to the ping time while it accepts/processes/and returns the request. Therefore, to get a more accurate ping for only the service-to-service communication time, you should do it by looking at the actual time your App Engine service accepted the request in the Logs Viewer <https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/viewer>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
