Re: [google-appengine] Frontend Instance Hours Limit Reached

[Andreas]

the app wont be served any more if you reach the quota for the free app.

how can you have a static html site with low traffic and high instance hours? 

that does not really make sense to me.

Hi, 

I have a static html website hosted on GAE. 

I get very less traffic but my frontend instance hours are high. 

What happens when my frontend instance hours limits are reached?

Will my website become unavailable to public? 

Please let me know what happens and also how to reduce the frontend instance hours used.

Thanks,

Hi, 

I am just testing my website and there are no traffic to speak of except myself visiting the website. The following is my statistics: With just 15 requests to the homepage, it shows 5% of frontend instance hours consumed. If things go like this, I think my site will only serve 300 visitors a day before it runs out of instance hours limit! 

Do you think people will still be able to access the site with frontend instance hours limit reached since it is a static website and not dynamic. I read somewhere that static content is served by different servers and should still be served, as long as you don't go beyond the bandwidth limits. Is that true?

Thanks,

Apra B

If you have only static files to serve, any instance shouldn't start.

Have you checked the logs in order to determine which request cause the instance to spin up?

Can you show us your app.yaml or web.xml?

You can't equate instance hours to requests directly at low traffic levels, because it is almost certain that your instance(s) are staying up much longer than they need to serve your current volume. Your quota is charged for 100% of an instance to serve a single request, when in fact it can probably serve dozens of static requests per second with that same instance.

Hey, I don't know how to check logs to determine which request causes the instance to spin up. I don't think I have any web.xml file, cause I didn't upload any. My app.yaml files contains:

application: MyApplicationName

version: 1

runtime: python

api_version: 1

handlers:

- url: /(.*\.(gif|png|jpg|ico|js|css|pdf))

  static_files: \1

  upload: (.*\.(gif|png|jpg|ico|js|css|pdf))

- url: .*

  script: main.py

Does using cache minimize instance hours? If so, how can I use cache?

Thanks,

For checking logs, please go to:

https://appengine.google.com/logs?&app_id=YOUR_APP_ID

Where are you serving your html from by the way?

If your contents are entirely static, just serve them from static handler like the first entry in your handlers definition.

Please don't forget to consider about favicon.ico. Almost all of the browsers look for the favicon file.
