Re: [google-appengine] New weird error.

As suggested, I created a private issue, since they wanted some app details. So 
you wouldn't be able to see the issue even if I shared the link.

But I'll post back here if any progress is made. It's still happening, although 
not too much...

Error reporting says it is still happening. Most recent was about 3 hours ago. 
(Note that nothing changed in our code, so this appears to be a problem at the

Usually when I see infrastructure-level issues I first report them here to see 
if they are something common lots of people are seeing, before I open an issue 
tracker about something google's already working on.

Re: [google-appengine] No Search Solution?! WOW.

2022-03-08 Thread Joshua Smith
Okay, that's hilarious.

Users: Can we send email?
Google: Nah. Sending email is too hard. You have to use a 3rd party for that.
Users: Aren't you the same company that makes gmail, the most popular email 
service on the planet?
Google: Yeah. What's your point?
Users: Never mind. Can we search for text in our databases?
Google: Nah. Search is too hard. You have to use a 3rd party for that.
Users: Wait. Is this the same google that is literally the largest search 
provider on the planet?
Google: Yeah, that's us.
Users: But search is too hard to provide in your cloud services platform.
Google: Right. You can do a feature request for it.
Users: Do you implement features we request?
Google: Generally, no. But we do take away features like mail and search, and 
then you can request that we give them back.
Users: Which you will never do.
Google: Correct.

The mind boggles.

[google-appengine] Firewalling AWS

2022-01-25 Thread Joshua Smith
I have a small site that I run on a not-for-profit basis.

Periodically I need to update robots.txt or add firewall rules to shut down bad 
actors who beat the crap out of the site running up my instance costs.

Lately, I've been getting slammed by instances running on AWS. They are mostly 
making HEAD requests, which makes me think it's some kind of crawler, but it 
uses regular browser user agents and doesn't respect my robots rules.

There's no legitimate reason for AWS to browse my site, so I just add a 
firewall rule, right? Trouble is, AWS has 6,462 different IPV4 address ranges, 
and this crawler is constantly jumping between them.

Any costs that I have are paid out of my own pocket. So I'm looking for 
suggestions that don't require MORE subscriptions (like CloudFlare or 
something).

Any ideas?

I'll put it on my to-do list to make a mock application that just does this 
hammer-on-startup thing. That seems pretty easy. (And it'll be interesting to 
see if a trivial mock app takes 5s to start up, or if there's some import I'm 
doing that's weighing things down.)

2021-11-05 Thread Joshua Smith
I don't have threadsafe in my 3.7 app's app.yaml. Just runtime and instance 
class. (I do have it in my 2.7 app, of course.)

I'll try playing with max concurrent threads, but if I bump it from 10 (the 
default) to 16, that really just changes it from 6 request to start an 
instance, to 9. Hard to see how that would make any difference.

As I said, the 2.7 only starts one more instance when I hammer it, and it 
doesn't end up giving it any work. That's very different behavior from the 3.7 
app which starts a bunch of instances and spreads the work to all of them 
(resulting in all the requests taking at least 5 seconds to fulfill, since the 
instance takes 5s to start up). This is clearly visible in the logs I included 
in the first message.

You're positive the scheduler is the same?

Re: [google-appengine] Updates from the Google App Engine team (Fall 2021)

2021-11-05 Thread Joshua Smith
I figured out from the logs (since it prints a message for each worker it 
starts) that 3.7 is starting 8 workers by default. So adding the entrypoint 
with defaults has no effect.

However, I did some experiments and I think I can characterize the difference 
between 2.7 and 3.7 when it comes to scaling.

When first landing on my app's page it shows a list of thumbnails. These come 
from the datastore, with each thumbnail making a HTTP request (GET 
/image?which=1, GET /image?which=2, etc.). If we:

1. Query for all of these at once so the server gets hammered with simultaneous 
requests:
- 2.7 starts one extra instance, and while that's happening the images 
are all served by the instance that already existed; the new instance never 
actually serves any of those image requests.
- 3.7 starts a lot of instances; it dumps a bunch of requests to each 
of them (one per worker thread, I presume), all of which are going to take 5 
seconds because that's how long it takes each instance to start.

The net result is the user of the 2.7 app sees all the images load right away, 
while the 3.7 app gets them over the course of 15 seconds or so, and sometimes 
there are timeout errors.

2. Query for these with a delay that's long enough to avoid overlapping 
requests:
- Neither starts extra instances.

The user sees all the images load pretty quick, but not quite as quick as 2.7 
with the first approach.

My conclusion is that the change is that the old scheduler wouldn't use an 
instance until it was running, whereas the new scheduler queues up requests for 
instances that are still starting up. The old scheduler doesn't start a new 
instance until the one it started most recently is running, whereas the new 
scheduler starts a new instance every time the request queue fills up for 
existing instances.

If you can serve a burst of requests in the time it take an instance to start, 
the old scheduler will get all those served. But the new scheduler will choke 
and perform very badly.

I'm not saying that the old scheduler was better. It just handled this 
particular case (cold start with a firehose) a lot better. Once the two systems 
are running at scale, I wouldn't expect there to be much difference.

Re: [google-appengine] App Engine costs rocket in recent months?

2021-09-02 Thread Joshua Smith
The thing that I've noticed is that the amount of bot traffic hitting my sites 
has been steadily increasing. I've addressed this through a combination of 
robots.txt and blocking certain IP address blocks in the firewall (I block the 
ones that don't respect crawl-delay or don't respect robots.txt).

It's a never-ending battle against these bots that all seem to be building 
their own google-scale web databases.

If your costs are coming from frontend instances, the simple solution to that 
is to just limit the maximum number of those. Although that means when you do 
get a traffic spike, users will suffer.

Re: [google-appengine] Weird Error Message

2021-08-25 Thread Joshua Smith
That makes sense. But in this case, I don't have google-api-core or 
google-cloud-core in my requirements.txt at all, so I guess it's being dragged 
in by something else?

This is what I have:

Flask==1.1.1
google-cloud-ndb
google-cloud-storage
google-cloud-logging
google-api-python-client
google-cloud-tasks
googleapis_common_protos
oauth2client
httplib2
sendgrid
pillow
pytz

So does this mean I need to downgrade some of those standard google- packages? 
And if so, how do I know what version to downgrade to?

Also, is this documented anywhere? I'd think if I'm using a bunch of google 
packages, google would be careful to make sure they latest versions of them all 
work together. And if they don't, there would be a document saying exactly what 
versions they want apps to use.

Re: [google-appengine] login: admin in python37

2021-01-28 Thread Joshua Smith
That seems easy enough, but there's something I don't understand. Where does 
the accessing user's identity come into play?

If I follow the directions the SO answer links to, I end up with something like 
this:

def adminPermission():
from googleapiclient import discovery
from oauth2client.client import GoogleCredentials
credentials = GoogleCredentials.get_application_default()
service = discovery.build('cloudresourcemanager', 'v1', 
credentials=credentials)
resource = "my-project-name"
test_iam_permissions_request_body = {
"permissions": [
"resourcemanager.projects.get"
]
}
request = service.projects().testIamPermissions(resource=resource, 
body=test_iam_permissions_request_body)
response = request.execute()
return len(response.get("permissions",[])) == 1

But all I'm checking in that code is whether my project has project permission, 
not whether the user making the request has project permission. If I hit a URL 
from curl with no auth that is returning True, since of course, my project has 
permission to get itself.

How do I get the credentials of the user accessing the URL?

That does look super easy, but as you pointed out, it applies to the whole app. 
I just want pages in my /admin section to require auth.

[google-appengine] login: admin in python37

2021-01-22 Thread Joshua Smith
In my quest to figure out how to keep using Google App Engine when Python27 
eventually goes away, I've just run into yet another case where something 
simple seems to have been replaced with a nightmare of complexity 
.

In my old app.yaml, I had this:

- url: /admin/.*
  script: main.app
  secure: always
  login: admin

Unfortunately, python37 doesn't support login: admin any more (!). I'm facing a 
mountain of documentation detailing a bunch of different ways I can do 
authentication now.

Stack overflow is no help at all in simplifying this.

Anyone here have advice on the easiest possible way to get the old Python27 
behavior that you have to be logged in as the app administrator in order to hit 
a certain URL?

This isn't for ensuring crons are only run by cron. That seems pretty easy by 
looking at headers.

This is for when you have administrative functions that only the developers 
need access to, and I'm looking for the easiest way to ensure a URL is only 
accessible to those particular people.

In case it matters, I'm using Flask.

Re: [google-appengine] Question about dispatch & backends

2021-01-11 Thread Joshua Smith
FYI, I've solved this puzzle.

The problem wasn't that the B8 instance was timing out in less than 60 seconds.

The problem was that I had the B8 set to max-instance = 1, so if two concurrent 
API requests came in, the dispatcher had nowhere to send the second request. It 
would hang around awhile, waiting for the B8 to free up, and eventually time 
out.

So the only "bug" here is that the error message from the dispatcher could be 
improved, by mentioning that the *reason* it timed out isn't that the server 
took too long, but rather that max-instances is too low.

2021-01-04 Thread Joshua Smith
Process question. The issue tracker failed to send me a notification when 
someone from Google asked a question, and since I didn't reply, they closed the 
ticket. I've answered the question now, and asked them to re-open the ticket. 
Is that going to work? Or do I need to start over with a new issue?

There's been no response for over a week, but maybe that's normal with the

Re: [google-appengine] Question about dispatch & backends

2020-12-14 Thread Joshua Smith
When I hit the B8 with a request to its appspot.com <http://appspot.com/> 
address, those happily run for more than a minute. The issue seems to be 
related to dispatching. (I can't just have my front-end connect to the appspot 
address, because I need some cookies to be present, so cross-domain is out.)

Re: [google-appengine] Question about dispatch & backends

2020-12-14 Thread Joshua Smith
I'm thinking you didn't read my initial message carefully, so let me try again.

Yes, I'm using the legacy runtime with the 1 minute limit on frontends.

Yes, I'm using the B8 with basic scaling for my API calls, which should not 
have that limit.

Yes, I'm using URL routing via dispatch.yaml, and have confirmed the B8 
instance is handling the request by checking the logs.

The request is nonetheless failing because it's taking more than one minute. 

That should not be happening, according to the documentation. Unless there's 
another 1 minute limit somewhere else that I'm not aware of.

[google-appengine] Question about dispatch & backends

2020-12-11 Thread Joshua Smith
I have an app with a frontend UX that queries some backend APIs for 
information. Some of these APIs need more than 60 seconds to complete their 
work.

I *thought* I could solve this by doing the following:

1. Run the code on a B8 instance with a different service name
2. Set up dispatch.yaml to direct the incoming API requests to that service:

dispatch:

- url: "*/api/*"
  service: reporting

- url: "*/*"
  service: default

The dispatching is working correctly. I see this in my logs for an /api hit:


However, it's timing out:



My understanding was that a B8 instance didn't have the "gotta get it done in 
60 seconds" rule that frontend instance types did.

What am I missing?

Re: [google-appengine] Google App Engine Cost

2020-12-08 Thread Joshua Smith
I more than a dozen App Engine apps (using cloud datastore and standard (not 
flex) GAE), and in my experience, the only non-negligible costs are:

1. Instances
2. Datastore reads

Instances tracks your request rate. For example, I have a very traditional 
web/db python app, and it usually has about 1 F1 instance per 0.1 requests/sec. 
(So if the request rate reached 0.5rps, then I'd have 5 instances.) This app 
has several hundred daily users, and it almost never needs more than one 
instance. (The first instance is free.) The only time my request rate goes up 
is when a bot ignores the crawl-delay in my robots.txt, or when somebody's 
calendar widget goes bonkers and starts hammering my ICS handler. I have alerts 
set up against budget, so when this happens I can investigate and block them 
with a firewall rule.

As for datastore reads, that's ridiculously hard to predict. It depends so much 
on what your app does, and how aggressively you cache frequently-accessed 
stuff. But looking at all my apps together, instances are usually half the 
bill, and datastore reads is the other half. So here's a quick estimator for 
monthly cost, based on my experience.

$ = 2 * ( ( floor(10 * RPS) - 1 ) * $36 )

RPS is requests per second, and you are probably over-estimating that by an 
order of magnitude.

Re: [google-appengine] Google Translate API & Permissions

2020-12-07 Thread Joshua Smith
This problem is more systemic than that. The documentation lacks a step-by-step 
how-to. I understand that there are a lot of options, but I'm pretty sure my 
use case is very common:

1. I have a google app engine app
2. I want to call the translation API from that app

I figured out how to do that from the translation API docs, but I lacked 
permission.

I could not find any step by step instructions for giving permission. I found 
this:

https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/setup

which pointed me to this:

https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-roles

at which point a normal human is going to be ready to give up. Look at that 
second page! It's an endless stream of gobledegook.

After getting the pointer from Amit that I need to add the role to IAM, I went 
to IAM & Admin in my console, and selected "roles". Spoiler alert: this is not 
where you do this.

Amit mentioned "service accounts" so I went looking for that. I chose the 
"Service Accounts" section. I see my service account, and it has a "..." 
Actions menu. None of those actions are about adding roles.

I click on the link for my service account, and see there's a tab for 
"permissions". Doesn't seem to be anywhere I can give it permissions there.

Honestly, I've just given up again. I know that by fumbling around in the 
console I eventually ended up on a page where it wanted me to type an email 
address. And I eventually figured out that it wanted the email address of the 
service account. But for the life of me, I can't find that now.

You need to write a how-to for giving an app engine app permission to access an 
API. Or if such a thing already exists, you need to elevate it to make it 
findable.

That worked. Thank you so much.

You guys need to work on your documentation. I never could have figured that 
out myself. And the process of adding that role to the service account was also 
weird. (The UX is asking for the email of a new user, when what I need to add 
is a service account that isn’t a new user, and isn’t even really an email.)

[google-appengine] Google Translate API & Permissions

2020-11-16 Thread Joshua Smith
I don’t think Google could have come up with a more confusing and convoluted 
system for API permission management if they tried.

So I’ve enabled the “cloud translation” API within my project.

I have some Python (2.7, old school) code that goes:

credentials = 
ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE, 
scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform’])
http_auth = credentials.authorize(Http())
service = build("translation", "v3", http=http_auth)
service.projects().translateText(parent=“projects/my-project-id-here",body={"contents":"bonjour",
 "targetLanguageCode":"en"}).execute()

And I get:

googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: https://translation.googleapis.com/v3/projects/my-project-id-here:translateText?alt=json
 returned "Cloud IAM permission 'cloudtranslate.generalModels.predict' denied.">

So it seems like I need to check some box somewhere to make this work, but I 
can’t figure out where.

The service account in the client secrets file is working fine when I use it to 
hit Google Analytics from the same app. And in fact, my code to access GA is 
almost identical except the scope and service call.

Any ideas?

Re: [google-appengine] GAE Outage

2020-11-09 Thread Joshua Smith
I don’t think so, since nobody responded with a +1 and the whole thing was 
never acknowledged by Google.

What I ended up doing was re-deploying with a new version number. The problem 
went away when I did that, although I don’t know for sure if that means I fixed 
it, or if it just happened to resolve itself at the same time.

[google-appengine] GAE Outage

My app is getting a lot of this error:



It started at 8:30. I tried updating my version and migrating traffic and that 
helped a little, but it seems the problem is still happening on and off.

Re: [google-appengine] Uploads to Legacy Blobstore are Failing with 500, nothing in the logs

2020-10-09 Thread Joshua Smith
Indeed, there is no such account with any permission on that bucket.

So there you have it. That’s probably what happened. (Doesn’t matter anymore 
for me, since I’m now using cloudstorage for uploads, not blobstore.)

Google really botched this transition from appcfg to gcloud.

Do you recall if you got 500 errors? I’d expect that to generate 403’s.

Regardless, that does sound like the kind of thing that happened.

Switching to use cloudstorage instead of blobstore wasn’t too hard, so that’s 
the workaround I’d recommend for anyone else who hits this issue.

I’m mostly just annoyed that google has switched to a support model where they 
won’t provide timely support unless you pay them $100/month. That’s greedy and 
stupid.

Unfortunately, I used gcloud app deploy because appcfg.py stopped working a

I did use curl and it revealed nothing. Just a terse 500 with no content from

Re: [google-appengine] Uploads to Legacy Blobstore are Failing with 500, nothing in the logs

2020-10-06 Thread Joshua Smith
Sigh.

I’ve gone ahead and re-coded my app to use cloudstorage instead of blobstore 
for new uploads. So this is no longer critical.

(Thankfully, downloads have continued to work. If you break blobstore 
downloads, that’ll be a real problem for me.)

The idea of using a cloud provider is they:

1. Keep the infrastructure working, and
2. Respond quickly when there are outages.

If I have to spend $100/month to get that level of service, it changes the 
economics completely.

I’m very disappointed in GCS right now.

Re: [google-appengine] Uploads to Legacy Blobstore are Failing with 500, nothing in the logs

2020-10-06 Thread Joshua Smith
The problem persists.

It occurs to me that last week was the first time I had to make a small update 
to the app in a while, and I did that using “gcloud app deploy”  instead of 
appcfg.py for the first time on that project.

Is it possible that pushing the app using gcloud introduced a problem uploading 
to blobstore? I wouldn’t think they’d be related, but the timing is suspicious.

Downloading from blobstore still works. It’s only uploads that are failing.

My users are getting upset, and your lack of feedback or an ETA is not helping.

My reading of that the cases page is that I’d have to pay you $100/month for 
the privilege of reporting outages that way. (The free tier says it’s 
read-only.)

Am I missing something?

It pre-dated that issue, and it is continuing despite the larger outage being

Please address this ASAP.

[google-appengine] Uploads to Legacy Blobstore are Failing with 500, nothing in the logs

2020-10-05 Thread Joshua Smith
There is a production issue in my app. (I’m happy to create a private 
production issue ticket, but I couldn’t figure out where to do that.)

My app is still on Python 2.7 and uses the legacy blobstore.

I use blobstore.create_upload_url('/upload’) to populate a form. This has been 
working fine for several years.

The last successful one was: 02/Oct/2020:11:37:23 -0400

As of this morning, attempts to upload to the blobstore are resulting in error 
500 and I don’t see the request in my logs.

I simulated one of these uploads using curl, but that produced no insight:

* Using HTTP2, server supports multi-use
* Connection state changed (HTTP/2 confirmed)
* Copying HTTP/2 data in stream buffer to connection buffer after upgrade: len=0
* Using Stream ID: 1 (easy handle 0x7fa064808200)

Re: [google-appengine] Spending LImits Going Away :(

2020-08-27 Thread Joshua Smith
On this particular topic of Cloud Datastore Read Operations being the cost 
driver, unfortunately caching doesn’t help my case.

This site has about 60,000 individual meetings listed, and I like having 
*useful* *well-behaved* crawlers find all those meetings so people can use 
search engines to find meetings that happened in various towns. But what keeps 
happening is some new useless/poorly-behaved crawler will decide to read all 
60,000 of those meetings as fast as it possibly can. (Ignoring the 
crawl-delay.) Caching in that situation would just add *more* cost, since there 
are no repeat hits from a crawler.

I periodically look at my access logs, find peaks, look at the requests, and 
figure out what new bot needs to be added to my robots.txt disallow list. And 
sometimes I have to add a firewall rule because that bot isn’t obeying 
robots.txt at all.

[google-appengine] Spending LImits Going Away :(

2020-08-25 Thread Joshua Smith
Once again last night, my wallet was saved when a runaway bot chewed up my 
site’s whole daily spending limit. I got an email from a user, set up a 
firewall rule, and goosed my budget to get things going again.

I’m very concerned about Google’s decision to remove this feature. Offering a 
cloud service that bills by usage without having a way to limit the spend 
shifts an unreasonable amount of risk onto the subscriber.

I’ve set up budget alerts, as suggested, but I’m concerned that:

- What if my bill shoots up really fast? How quickly is this alert going to go 
out?

- What if I am away from the computer (remember when we used to be able to 
leave our houses? good times… good times…)?

I run this particular site as a not-for-profit social good. (It’s a site that 
small town governments use to post their meetings.) I make no money on it.

I’d be perfectly happy to handle this with self-set quotas on something other 
than dollars. For example, in my case the budget-buster is always “Cloud 
Datastore Read Operations.” If I could set a cap on that one thing, it’d give 
me the protection I need.

Re: [google-appengine] Network error when attempting to fetch resource

2020-05-11 Thread Joshua Smith
Look at the network activity debugger in your browser, or try hitting the URL 
using curl -v from the terminal.

That will generally help you sort out what headers are being included.

The rule you included would only add those headers to images, not your JSON 
stuff, but maybe that was just an example?

FWIW, I think it’s way more natural to do this in the python code:

  self.response.headers["Access-Control-Allow-Origin"] = "*"

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Alternative to IN (Filter)

2020-05-10 Thread Joshua Smith
Do a whole lot of queries in tasks and collect the results together. That’s all 
an IN filter on a nosql dB would do behind the scenes anyway. If that doesn’t 
work for you get more clever in your schema to include something you can filter 
on to get you a superset.

Re: [google-appengine] Any more migration stories?

2020-05-05 Thread Joshua Smith
I have several mission critical services running in P2.7. About 13,000 lines of 
python code.

To get a feel for what P3.7 would be like, I used the new environment to create 
a couple new services. It was not fun. Everything about the new environment is 
10x more complicated, working with a local database is well neigh impossible, 
and the new code patterns are different enough from the old code patterns, that 
I’m looking at a line-by-line rewrite.

For example, to delete something from google.appengine.ext.db

model.delete()

To delete something from google.cloud.ndb

model.key.delete()

It’s a small change, but since Python is not compiled, nothing is going to help 
me find that other than rigorous search and runtime errors.

All told, I think migrating all my services from P2.7 to P3.7 is going to take 
at least a couple person-months of labor. It’s a nightmare.

Google completely botched this. They should have created polyfills so we can 
just deal with the few language change issues, but not have to switch to an 
entirely different set of services.

Short answer: They will continue to work as they have been.

We need to migrate from Py2.7 to Py3.7 and the new stack, but google is giving 
us years to get it done.

At least, that how I read the notices google has sent out.

The dashboard shows all is well, but I’m getting errors when I try to deploy an 
Python2.7 app using the old appcfg.py

HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error. Aborting.

Re: [google-appengine] Diving into App Engine is soooooooooooo hard now - My analysis

2020-03-20 Thread Joshua Smith
It’s interesting to look at what Google is doing with Firebase.

1. They are encouraging us to move more of the processing into the client, 
which while often architecturally foolish, does eliminate the need for some of 
the PaaS stuff.

2. They have a serverless/cloud functions thing over there, which overlaps a 
lot with the PaaS stuff we’ve been able to do in GAE. I haven’t dug into that 
too much, but on the surface it looks like the spaghetti antipattern.

Given that this is google, and that it’s PaaS all over again, I think the risk 
of putting any eggs in the Firebase basket seems almost unbearably high. Is 
Google going to turn their back on Firebase when the next shiny object 
distracts them? Why should we believe that any service google offers will last 
more than their committed 3 years?

I’m super tired of having to go back and rewrite my critical business 
infrastructure every few years.

(Google’s competitors in the PaaS space don’t inspire any more confidence, so 
this isn’t so much a google problem as a cloud problem, I think.)

Anyone tried Beanstalk? Is it any better?

I’ve recently had a run-in with Azure where I had to store some stuff for a 
customer in their S3-like blob store service. It was a nightmare. Insanely 
over-engineeered to the point that it becomes impossible to figure out how to 
do the simplest things. Much like GAE’s trajectory.

Ima coin a new law: All PAAS services will expand until they are 
indistinguishable from IAAS.

[google-appengine] Migrating Python 2 to 3: images

2020-02-24 Thread Joshua Smith
I need to read and resize an image in my google app engine app. In my python2.7 
code, this is simply:

from google.appengine.api import images
image = images.resize(image, width=1024, output_encoding=images.JPEG, 
correct_orientation=images.CORRECT_ORIENTATION)

I can’t find anything the migration guide that suggests an alternative to this 
API (but several places say I need to find one). So helpful.

What does this august body recommend I use to replace the above two lines of 
code? I certainly don’t want to have to use some web-based micro-service for 
such a simple thing.

Re: [google-appengine] Can't I set a specific request timeout ? 24 hours for running an HTTP requets seems crazy.

2020-01-31 Thread Joshua Smith
Relying on the infrastructure to police your algorithm’s implementation doesn’t 
make much sense.

If you’re doing some operation with a loop, you can simply add a check every 
few iterations and abort if it’s taking too long.

Using timers might be an option, depending on the language you are using. But 
being explicit within the algorithm is probably a better engineering practice.

HTTP requests service task queues and cron jobs, so while it would be crazy to 
think a web browser would still be around, it’s perfectly normal to put 
compute-intensive cron jobs into an HTTP request handler that might need many 
hours to run.

Re: [google-appengine] Python 3 standard environment data storage

2020-01-17 Thread Joshua Smith
I moved my test app to the cloud and I’m able to read and write data using 
Cloud NDB. However, the console still shows my database as empty, and it seems 
to be ignoring my index.yaml file (or maybe the indexes are just taking a 
really long time to build, but I can’t tell because the console says I have no 
indexes).

Questions:

- Does it take a while for the Datastore console notice there’s a datastore on 
a new project?
- Is there an extra step in the python3.7 environment beyond including an 
index.yaml file in my deployment?

Also, I’ve figured out how to use sendgrid instead of the built-in email like I 
had in P2.7, which was surprisingly painless and easy. But is there a 
replacement for this:

from google.appengine.ext import ereporter
ereporter.register_logger()

That thing is invaluable when you have lots of apps. Is there something similar 
for P3.7 that will send me exception summaries daily?

I’m familiar with the “Cloud Console” phone app, which will do notifications. 
But in my experience you can’t rely on that, because sometimes it spontaneously 
stops notifying.

Running locally, I’m using this datastore emulator:

https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/tools/datastore-emulator 


It works, but it is SOOO SLW. It takes literally 10-20 seconds to respond 
to a simple query.

Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?

Re: [google-appengine] Python 3 standard environment data storage

2020-01-16 Thread Joshua Smith
My understanding is that yes, 2.7 will eventually go *poof* like the old pre-HR 
DB implementation went *poof*. However, it’s a long way off. They haven’t 
issued a deprecation warning yet, and as a core technology, google's habit is 
to give you 3 years to move off of it after deprecation.

The launcher, though, is another story. That’s going away this summer, and will 
be sorely missed. I cannot imagine why they think having to type mysterious 
incantations into a terminal is preferable to clicking “run” or “deploy”

I managed to get the new 3.7 app I’m using as a test case running, but it took 
me nearly an hour to figure out all the proper steps. (The step-by-step 
walk-throughs are nice, but they are misleading. For example, if you use a 
database (who doesn’t?) you need to install a bunch of other stuff and do a 
whole bunch of other cryptic things to get a test database running or your 
simple “hello world” will crash with a page of error messages.)

[google-appengine] Python 3 standard environment data storage

2020-01-15 Thread Joshua Smith
I’ve been using AppEngine for about a decade, currently my apps are all Python 
2.7, Standard environment, google.appengine.ext.db

I need to create a new app, so I figured it’s a good time to start learning all 
the technologies that have replaced everything I’ve been using.

I’m trying to understand what database technology I should use. Since I’m 
eventually going to have to migrate all my existing apps to Python 3, I’d like 
to use the database that is closest to what I’ve been using.

>From my reading of the docs, I think I can use “Cloud Firestore in Datastore 
>Mode” and interface to that using “Cloud NDB” which provides an API very 
>similar to “ndb” which is something I’ve never used, but looks darn similar to 
>“db”.

Does that make sense? I see that there are “this is beta software” warnings 
around the Cloud NDB part. Should I be worried about that?

Since this is a new project, I don’t have any data migration to worry about. 
But if I choose this path when porting an existing project, is the underlying 
database the same database? Can I be reading and writing the same datastore 
from a Python 2.7 google.appengine.ext.db app and a Python 3.7 
google.cloud.datastore app at the same time?

This isn’t accessing analytics, it’s accessing Firebase. I just had some 
working code from Analytics that I used as a starting point.

Anyway, I figured it out. The trick is that I needed to create a new service 
account private key over on the Firebase side, download client secrets from 
there, and then use those secrets in the authenticated calls to firebase.

Re: [google-appengine] Design Advice

And a related issue. I have some code that this app successfully uses to 
connect to the google analytics API. I tweaked that code for firebase as 
follows:

  from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials
  from httplib2 import Http
  credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(
  CLIENT_SECRETS, 
scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/firebase.database', 
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email'])
  http = Http()
  http_auth = credentials.authorize(http)

But that gives 401 errors. I would guess that I need to enabled an API on the 
console, but I can’t figure out which one to enable. I enabled “Firebase 
Storage” but that didn’t help.

What API do I need to enable to get that scope authorized?

This looks very promising, and I’m playing with it now. Getting the permissions 
set up is hard, though.

At first, I simply tried to create a firebase project associated with the GAE 
project that’s going to dump data there. I was able to do that, but it won’t 
let me create a realtime database because my GAE project has a database of its 
own.

So then I tried creating a brand new thing. And that works, except I can’t 
figure out how to give my GAE project permission to read/write to it. If I try 
to add it’s “@appspot.gserviceaccount.com” email as a User with Editor

Any idea how I can give my GAE project permission to authenticate against a

[google-appengine] Design Advice

2020-01-09 Thread Joshua Smith
I have a big app running on AppEngine standard, python 2.7.

It’s tracking analytics info from dozens of apps in the field, and I’m thinking 
about adding a “real time” feature, similar to what google analytics has. A web 
client would show inbound hits on a map as they occur, for example.

While the incoming data has some scale (not massive, typically about 4 
instances), there will never be a lot of people viewing the output. 2 or 3 at a 
time, at most. Usually 0.

I’m wondering whether folks in this group have advice on the best approach to 
send a real-time data flow into the web pages.

- WebSockets seems logical, but it looks like GAE standard doesn’t support them
- I could run a websockets server somewhere else (EC2?) and somehow (?) send 
messages from GAE to that for distribution
- I looked at gcloud PubSub, but that seems to be more of a server->server tool 
than a way to send messages to web apps
- I looked at gcloud message, but that seems ill suited to use in web pages
- Polling sounds expensive, since I’d need to create lots and lots of temporary 
database items for the messages

Is there some other tool or technique out there that I should investigate?

I’m trying:

automatic_scaling:

  max_pending_latency: 200ms
  max_concurrent_requests: 20

So far, the site is still quite responsive, and there are not a bunch of idle

Re: [google-appengine] gcloud app deploy is failing

2019-12-13 Thread Joshua Smith
Confirmed that my deploy is now working. A little heads-up would be nice before 
you take another shot at that experiment. I don’t remember opting-in to being a 
guinea pig.

And yes, I assumed it had something to do with that cloud build stuff. I guess 
I understand why you are doing it, but this transformation of Google App Engine 
from a PaaS offering to an IaaS offering is horrible. It used to be we had a 
simple Launcher app that made development and deployment of an app super easy. 
Now I’m dealing with a half dozen “services,” trying to ensure all the service 
accounts have the right permissions, and having to learn entire stacks to do 
something that used to be an API call.

There is a real market need for a PaaS offering, which is what GAE used to be. 
Now it’s gotten so complicated that I might as well be spinning up a container 
in EC2. You have completely destroyed your competitive advantage, and there is 
vacuum that someone (beanstalk maybe?) is going to step into.

It reminds me of the the way Microsoft Access solved a real problem for 
millions of users, yet Microsoft repeatedly tried to kill the thing to drag 
people to SQL Server, which was such overkill for 99% of those users.

Once again, Google is listening to their engineers instead of their customers. 
It’s a shame. GAE was great. This gcloud mess is the opposite of great.

I looked at the issue tracker, but that doesn’t appear to be geared toward 
production problems any more.

Opening a ticket appears to have a $100/month price tag attached to it, which 
seems onerous considering how much my company is paying google every month for 
these services, and considering google broke my account.

What’s the right course of action here?

2019-12-11 Thread Joshua Smith
Digging into the GAE “Activity” logs, I see some new stuff about google cloud 
builder that I haven’t seen before.

Perhaps something went sideways in the transition to that new technology?

All these extra service accounts and whatnot that got created and show up in 
IAM are ridiculously complicated. I wouldn’t know where to begin diagnosing 
that.

What’s the right way to get someone from google to figure out how they messed 
up my account?

[google-appengine] Outage?

2019-12-11 Thread Joshua Smith
I’m trying to update a website deployed in appengine. I’ve made sure my cloud 
SDK is all up to date. It’s a big site, with about 8000 files. I’ve been using 
the same deploy command in this same folder for years. I’m getting this cryptic 
error:

Updating service [default]...failed.

The guid-looking thing changes every deploy. kaoncom-hr is the name of the app.

I checked the dashboards and google is not reporting an outages.

Any ideas?

Google Cloud Storage is like S3 with cloudfront built-in.

You could absolutely migrate that database to GCS and then access those objects

Re: [google-appengine] Using GAE to store images for other machine out of GAE

2019-08-22 Thread Joshua Smith
GAE isn’t going to serve those images any faster than S3 does (unless they’re 
in glacier storage).

What you propose won’t be possible because of limits on the size of GAE apps 
(10K files, max file sizes, etc.)

If you are reading the images more than once, putting a cloudfront distribution 
between your app and the S3 bucket might help.

Re: [google-appengine] Source Code download from GAE Flex

2019-08-20 Thread Joshua Smith
The cloud SDK seems to do a compare of local files to those in cloud storage 
when you do a deploy. Would it be possible for Sai to access that bucket 
directly and download the objects back to his machine? The file names might be 
garbage, but it’d be relatively easy to fix that manually.

Re: [google-appengine] Header names after september 30 (Load balancers)

2019-08-15 Thread Joshua Smith
Wait. What?

Are you saying this bit of server code isn’t going to work after September 30?

class CountryHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
  def get(self):
self.response.headers["Content-Type"] = "text/plain"
self.response.out.write(self.request.headers["X-AppEngine-Country"])

Or is the issue only on the client side?

Also, I didn’t get that email. I get emails all the time from google about 
stuff they are deprecating (the most recent being a stern warning that I need 
to stop using the lovely “Launcher” app and instead use the terrible 
command-line interface; a development about which I am not at all pleased). Why 
wouldn’t I have gotten this one?

Re: [google-appengine] GAE python 2.7 end of life

2019-01-11 Thread Joshua Smith
SendGrid has a daily limit of 100 emails in the free tier. My app predates the 
severe GAE mail limits, and thus can send more than that every day without 
incurring charges.

So if you guys drop mail in Python 3, you’re going to add $15/month in cost to 
my application. My app is a free service provided to support open government 
and accountability, which means that cost is going to come out of my pocket.

Please reconsider.

Re: [google-appengine] Socket Timeout errors on URLFetch calls

2018-03-29 Thread Joshua Smith
URLFetch is a little flaky in app engine. Always has been, kind of like mail. I 
suspect rolling your own fetch using URL connections wouldn’t help at all.

Over the many years I’ve been using GAE, I’ve noticed that both mail and url 
fetch errors tend to cluster. Like storms that pass through, causing lots of 
errors, and then move on and everything is good for a few weeks.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Change to the way GAE counts MB?

2018-01-26 Thread Joshua Smith
MB is short for megabyte, which is defined as 1,232,896 bytes, not 1,000,000 
bytes.

Also, as I said, this file was fine until yesterday. Google arbitrarily lowered 
the limit and did not update the documentation or even bother to tell anyone.

[google-appengine] Change to the way GAE counts MB?

2018-01-25 Thread Joshua Smith
I use GAE to host a PHP site, and there’s a file that’s been there about a year 
with no issues. It’s 32674472 bytes.

The file size limit, of course, is 32MB which is higher than that, assuming GAE 
defines a 1 MB = 1024 * 1024.

But I’m getting this error on deployment:

Details: [
  [
{
  "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ResourceInfo",
  "description": "File 
https://storage.googleapis.com/staging.kaoncom-hr.appspot.com/1ced1565690281184e66ebd4fa0a666264a28249
 is too big (32674472 bytes). Max file size is 3200 bytes.",
  "resourceName": 
"https://storage.googleapis.com/staging.kaoncom-hr.appspot.com/1ced1565690281184e66ebd4fa0a666264a28249";,
  "resourceType": "file"
}
  ]
]

Looks like google has changed to counting MB the way disk drive people count 
them.

[google-appengine] Re: Deployment Errors

2017-10-26 Thread Joshua Smith
When I look at google storage, the file that it’s complaining it cannot see is 
in fact not there.

So I guess the problem is that deploy thinks the file is there, and doesn’t 
push it, but it’s not there for some reason and so when it tries to move 
everything in the manifest from staging to live, it is missing one or more 
files.

Seems like what I need is a “force” option to get “gcloud app deploy” to upload 
files that it doesn’t think it needs to upload. But I don’t see anything like 
that in the docs.

>From the logs…

Re: [google-appengine] Mail API Quotas

2017-03-31 Thread Joshua Smith
Turning off the limit, and changing the pricing for usage that they are already 
tracking could not possibly be a “massive waste of engineering.” It should be 
trivial. Maybe 10 minutes was an exaggeration. 15 minutes?

And I would spend a penny per email when I need to send 1,000. Thankfully, I’ve 
been here long enough that I’m grandfathered in with a much higher quota.

Also, it isn’t always trivial to send through those other services when there 
are attachments or other complexities involved.

Re: [google-appengine] Mail API Quotas

2017-03-31 Thread Joshua Smith
The existing mail API makes sense for things like “ereporter” that 
automatically sends the administrator a daily email summarizing unhandled 
exceptions.

It also works fine for low-volume cases, like password authentication for apps 
that only get a dozen or so new users a day.

It’s quite absurd that google doesn’t offer a high-volume email service, but 
that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t at least offer a low-volume one.

And yes, billing a penny, or even a few cents, for every outbound email is an 
obvious solution to the spam concern. I have no idea why they don’t just do 
that. It’d probably take them like 10 minutes to implement.

I got a weird error when I tried to deploy. I updated to the latest Python 
Launcher code, and tried again, and it said I need to rollback.

This was the result:

$ appcfg.py rollback .
10:54 AM Application: kaon-log
10:54 AM Host: appengine.google.com
10:54 AM Rolling back the update.
Error 404: --- begin server output ---

The requested URL 
/api/appversion/rollback?app_id=kaon-log&force_rollback=0&version=58

[google-appengine] Re: OAuth2 server-to-server on Google App Engine

2017-02-24 Thread Joshua Smith
Nevermind. I found this:

https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount 
<https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount>

The code is pretty simple:

class GetGAHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
  def get(self):
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials
from httplib2 import Http
from apiclient.discovery import build
credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(
  CLIENT_SECRETS, 
scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly'])
http_auth = credentials.authorize(Http())
service = build("analytics", "v3", http=http_auth)

Getting the google-api-python-client installed in a local folder was a 
nightmare, and convincing GAE to use it wasn’t obvious. However, once I sorted 
through all that, the above code works like a champ.

[google-appengine] OAuth2 server-to-server on Google App Engine

2017-02-24 Thread Joshua Smith
I’m trying to access the Google Analytics API from a Google App Engine app. I 
got this working a long time ago, before Analytics was one of the APIs you 
could use server-to-server.

So I have code that works with an administrator user in the middle of the 
transaction. I used the decorator from oauth2client.appengine import 
oauth2decorator_from_clientsecrets

What I’d like to do is get this working so my google app engine app (written in 
Python) can just talk to google analytics without a person in the loop. I can’t 
find an example of that.

Since all the google services seem to work the same way, I probably don’t need 
an example of connecting to analytics. Rather, just an example of how to 
connect to any google service without a user in the middle would be great.

The following code doesn’t work, but hopefully will give you an idea of what 
I’m trying to do. It is failing because there’s no callback set up.

class StorageDuck():
  def put(self, content):
console.log("Pretending to put: "+content)

class GetGAHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
  def get(self):
from apiclient.discovery import build
from oauth2client import client
from oauth2client import file
from oauth2client import tools
http = httplib2.Http(memcache)
service = build("analytics", "v3", http=http)
flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets(
  CLIENT_SECRETS,
  scope='https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly',
  message="")
credentials = tools.run(flow, StorageDuck())
chttp = credentials.authorize(http=httplib2.Http())

Any pointers?

[google-appengine] Switching from Backends to Modules

2017-02-24 Thread Joshua Smith
I have a process I need to let run longer than 10 minutes, and I have been 
using “backends” for this.

I saw the deprecation warning, so I decided to try making it into a module 
instead. The documentation on this is a complete mess. Hey google: You need to 
go clean this up. There are a whole lot of different pages that describe bits 
and pieces of the puzzle, but I can’t find anything that tells me what I 
actually need to do. It doesn’t help that backends became modules became 
services. SMDH.

Anyway, I found the article that told me how to generate a .yaml for my module 
based on my old backends.yaml and my app.yaml. My module is called “reporting” 
so I have reporting.yaml.

After making that and deleting my backends.yaml, I clicked deploy on the GAE 
launcher, but that didn’t do anything about my module.

So I guess I need to run appcfg.py manually? But I have no idea what arguments 
to give it.

I just want to push the latest code up, and then I will hit the module with a 
URL.

I used to do this with: appcfg.py backends  update

What command should I issue to get the same result with my “reporting” module?

Re: [google-appengine] How do I obtain a CSR?

2017-01-24 Thread Joshua Smith
Honestly, someone with “very little technical knowledge” should not attempt to 
work with SSL certificates.

HTTPS is about setting up a secure website and letting the people who use that 
website know that you are doing things correctly to protect them.

You should find someone who understands SSL (and web security in general) to 
take care of this for you.

Think of it like trying to repair the airbag on your car by yourself. It’s just 
a bad idea.

[google-appengine] Migrating from G-Suite to Direct Domain Mapping

2017-01-05 Thread Joshua Smith
I have an old service that I set up back when you had to use G-Suite (then 
called Google Apps) to map a domain name to an appengine service.

I’m paying $5/mo for that G-Suite one-seat license, even though I don’t use it.

What is the procedure to use to stop using G-Suite to assign a domain to a 
service and instead map it directly?

After I change that, I’ll cancel the G-Suite subscription, and hopefully not 
break everything.

Pointers?

-Joshua

Re: [google-appengine] Is Google App Engine Launcher being deprecated? Why??

2016-12-28 Thread Joshua Smith
Yes, obviously I know all that, because I said I’m writing scripts for every 
project. So instead of having a nice GUI that does it all for me, I have to 
create and maintain a dozen scripts. This is progress?

Wait. What?

Does google actually believe that instead of providing an easy-to-use interface 
for setting up and managing applications and services, enterprises want to 
build their OWN GUIs to do this?

Do you guys ever actually talk to your customers?
