Hi
How much memory and CPU gets allocated to a deployed instance of my application? Does it totally depend on usage so that the instance is completely shut down and doesn't use anything if there are no requests? What is then the minimum required to serve a request (in my case python) and can we buy a speed increase or are we forced to optimize a slow script and maybe it can't get optimized so we'd have to change our logic?

I think one instance defaults to 128 MB and 600 MHZ which is a rather restrained enviornment about half what used for PHP minimum and 1/4 of what I used for Java in a virtual Linux server.

We're very happy with the GAE features and how the upgrades, fixes and features are going for our development.
We're also happy with the new pricing which lowered our costs in some cases.

We did not encounter a bug that we could not fix or workaround but there might be a new urllib2 bug in the 1.6.1 that we investigated (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8411622/why-this-error-from-urllib)

Thank you
Nick Rosencrantz

Your instance runs on Hardware you can’t see, a software platform you can’t buy and accesses a MemCache and DataStore that are proprietary.

 

Are you running iX86? Or AMDx86?  32 bit or 64 Bit? Risc? Itanium? Arm?

 

Asking how many cycles you have is kind of silly.

 

If you want to go Faster Serial, optimize your code.

If you want to go faster parallel crank up the number of instances.

 

Your Measure of speed should be, Time Per Request of my Fastest, Average, Mode, and Slowest Type.  Compare those with the QoS you would get on another platform and decide if you are limited by the platform or your coding.

Very amusing summary of GAE
