Latency dropped from 300 msec to 100msec for me

It looks like they performed some seriously powerful voodoo spells during the maintenance :)

Well done, Googlers, thank you!

Very impressive! Datastore is screaming right now!

Whoever engineered this fix deserves a raise!

Totally awesome, I'm going to have some happy users if this keeps up.

Does this mean we're out of beta? :-)

I just noticed, in addition to the halved RPC latencies (datastore,
memcache, everything) it looks like instances on my low traffic site
are living longer too! I used to see new instances created if I got
no requests for 2-3 minutes. Right now they're living for 10-15
minutes! Fantastic!

I noticed another great improvement: much faster app uploads. See my

Amazing. I just pray that this is not temporary.

Thank you, and good job.

A site I like to look at that keeps independent stats can be found here:


Back when the Sept 13th maintenance happened, you could see the pronounced difference (for the worse)... now, you can see the pronounced difference for the better.

Ojala, this wild-n-out performance will stick.  See here for general cloud stats (my personal opinion has always been the Appengine allowed a wilder 99th percentile performance to give better median performance on gets and puts.. while, say, Amazon Simple DB gave slower read performance in exchange for a lower 99th percentile.  Whatever happens with the datastore performance from now on, I like the approach they're taking):

Where do I send the case of beer? (Or would a box of k'nex be a better choice?)

Had to comment again on this mind blowing performance.

Right now gae status page showing datastore get() latency about 5ms
while memcache get() latency is about 3ms.

If you improve any more you are going to deprecate memcache!

Impressive performance gains - congratulation to Google and App Engine
team.
Lets hope current performance will be a benchmark for the future.

Back in July, and even after a maintenance before that I noticed a
significant lower latency in the few days right after the maintenance.
It never last though, so we should probably wait a few more days
before assessing the results. I wonder what kind of changes in
BigTable could cause a temporary improvement...

I am also seeing much better performance - including quicker startup
times for a new java instance.

Thanks,

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the great feedback! Going forward, we're cautiously optimistic about the datastore improvements. You should continue to code using best practices - that is, don't assume datastore get() will always run in 5ms and place make 200 get calls serially. We'll be watching the performance closely in the meantime.

Hmm... unfortunately it seams that some of the issues have reappeared
(high 500 error rate, high latencies, etc). Is this happening to other
apps or just mine ?

it was about 100ms before...

Ice,

I'm also experiencing an unacceptably high number of 500 errors.

FYI,

worse today, though).

The situation hasn't been improved for me since Sept's maintenance.
Ya responds are faster, but those timeout still the same.
