#22This site, probably NSFW, makes use of the datastore (for the thumbnails) and it's now much faster, it's a pity we can't compare speeds with the old latency. http://wallres.saiswa.com/?tags=girls&pagina=23
My dinky app dropped from 60ms/request to 20ms/request, but over the next 3 hours crept up more or less linearly to about 30ms/request.
I missed the word "app" when reading your comment and thought it was a clever joke.

#23As any ops guy will tell you, this is the finest form of graph porn there is.

#25Our app ( http://gri.pe ) feels a lot snappier after this latest bit of datastore maintenance. We've been using as much memcache as possible to avoid datastore access because prior to this maintenance, datastore access was spiky and even the simplest of queries had a small chance of timing out. I can say for sure that some of our datastore-heavy cron jobs were taking > 200ms, but are around 70ms now. It's a shame tha…
Unrelated question: how are you doing those cron jobs.
I tried using the task queue, but it kept timing out on me, even when I broke my tasks into smaller ones (couldn't figure out a threshold as the behavior of the datastore was totally unpredictable).

#26I just tried a high traffic site that runs on App Engine (appbrain.com). It used to feel a bit slow, and now it really flies.
It definitely makes me reconsider using App Engine for new projects.
Disclaimer: I have no connection to Appbrain aside from meeting the developers once.

#27The sense that the app store has been a neglected, second-tier priority is deep enough now that it will take them a while to regain significant developer trust.
AWS is very close to a de-facto standard now.
Edit: I mean app engine, the hosted web service. Not the app store. Thanks.

#28It's still too early to tell. This would not be the first time that speed improves after a maintenance and then it slowly gets worse every week until it looks almost like before the maintenance.

#29that 's great :) hopefully, now they can work on improving support for JDO/JPA and release those great features announced in Google I/O.

I agree. However I hope they do regain that trust b/c app engine is a far more pleasant platform to develop on.
