Hi,

I am noticing that the latency on my HR based application went up
significantly. My app does a simple read and a write. It is taking
over 1 second to do this operation. In M/S the this operation was <
100ms

Even under multi threading, my machines are not processing as many
requests as my M/S app could handle. My costs have gone up by 50%
after having switched from M/S. Is this normal?

Last night a single machine handled about 6-7 requests/second. Today
it has dropped to 4. Nothing has changed. The request are generated by
devices and thus are very consistent.

It seems that the latency on the HR datastore is causing my cost to
increase. I have no control over this latency. Is this something I can
get money back for?

if request/second dropped, nothing could be done. latency has nothing to do with request/second. if nothing else, it will increase the instance count, google have no control over request/second.

Can you post the code about what you are doing? "Simple read and write" isn't descriptive enough.

There have been issues with High Replication, but these are/have been addressed.

The over all requests/second have been consistent from day to day. I
am talking about the ability of a single machine's ability to handle
requests/second.
