Taking a decision of leaving is actually a hard call. There are many things involved ( + Business decisions)
I guess everything falls at what you expect from your service to end users: 99.99% uptime? That's _expensive_ everywhere (or eats everyones life at the sysadmin level resetting load balancers, memcached pools, dealing with transactions deadlocks, etc) If appengine team comes up with the SLA things will change drastically, because most of the people wanting this SLA will have to: - redesign the app so it meets best practices ( avoid relational mindset) - move to the HR so you can assure the datastore latency is consistent and you plan around it - have better visibility of your internal app: what's so time consuming, error rate per entity kind, etc. There are not many PaaS that satisfy all my needs, google at least has a roadmap and you can expect the enterprise jump soon (if you really want a 99.9% at least) For now, we try to make sure our app is not the one making all those stability issues :) On 15 February 2011 21:07, coltsith <[email protected]> wrote: > @David: +1: My exact thoughts!
