In high spike situations, Google App Engine would anticipate traffic(due to spike) and makes a few instance ready for you. The exact configuration for spinning up and winding down would be based on your appengine-web.xml <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/config/appref#scaling_elements> configuration file(for Java). You may take a look at “Managing App Resources” <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/console/managing-resources> documentation for a general overview on how to control the idling instances.
The general DeadLineExceededError <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/articles/deadlineexceedederrors> can have many causes. There is a likelihood that a new instance loading is too slow to handle the requests. Hence, warmup request <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/warmup-requests/> would resolve the issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
