modules and instance hours relationship?

[Alistair Burrowes]

Hi,

I previously had the one fully contained app engine java web app that was only the one module. For code cleanliness reasons I split this up into an endpoints backend module and a web frontend module.

I have started driving more traffic to my site and I have hit the 28 instance hours limit. Is this because each module is incurring instance hours now and so in effect the entire web app is consuming double the instance hours?

The docs sort of suggest this but it's not super clear to me.

Cheers,

Alistair

"frontend" modules (i.e ones with the default autoscaling, and thus instance classes named starting with F) all share the 28 hours free quota (which means 28 hours of F1, remember: if you use a default F2, twice as powerful, that's 14 wall-clock hours per day).

"backend" modules (i.e ones with manual or basic scaling and thus instance classes named starting with B) share a separate 8 hours free quota (again: that means 8 hours of B1).

As you give us zero information about scaling kind and instance classes you're using, that about exhaust the information WE can offer!-)

Um thanks. Sorry to clarify I have 2 frontend autoscaling modules. One is just serving static html and resources. The other uses endpoints to provide data. So I guess this will be minimum two instances?

Either module, w/auto-scaling, might have 0 instances if 15 minutes have elapsed since it finished serving the last request (by default -- you can specify other parameters). So, there *might* be fewer than two instances in play at a given time.
