Socket quota limits when using a Redis Cluster

[Fernando Martincic]

We are currently using the Redislab's Redis Cloud cache service as part of our Google App Engine (GAE) project (still in development phases). 

However, as our application scales in call volume, the 20GB data transfer limit over sockets imposed by GAE will be hit quickly. Are there any workarounds for this?

I've been told you can ask Google to increase socket limits. I will have the same requirement when my app goes live. Would be interested to hear if you have success (or not) in getting the quota raised, and presumably pricing is the same, if you don't mind posting an update!

Hey Fernando,

You should contact support by opening a case to request a higher quota on App Engine, along with explaining your use-case. If you don't have a support package, the docs advise you to open a Feature Request issue in the public issue tracker, although we're working on a better method for this at the moment. The same advice to provide detailed use-case justification applies.
