GAE is still having serious post-maintenance hiccup. My cron jobs and deferred tasks essentially stopped executing since 6:20pm, the time maintenance was supposed to be done. Plus, we can not do deployment at this moment. These kind of maintenance nightmare should not happen again.
This should be a big lesson for GAE. People including me have good trust on Google and GAE team. You guys should do the best to live up to people's expectation. Otherwise, you will lose in the cloud computing game. One experience that I learned when I worked for Salesforce.com may help the GAE team next time. In Salesforce.com, a major product release or scheduled maintenance usually happen only to a portion of their data center, so that: 1, a majority of the customer base won't get affected if something bad happen. 2, most of the time, traffic can get redirected to the old portion of data center if the upgrading portion has problem.
