Google App Engine Backend Resident Instance shuts down

[Zig Mandel via StackOverflow]

backends do CV shutdown, check the docs. If possible gae will send you a notification and you will have a tiny amount of time to react. Its meant for saving a tiny state like a single ds entity, definitely not for saving a huge amount of data in ram. That's not a good use of a backend.
