how does the instance work? If I have multiple modules in one app, how many instance is that? Or does it just mean that for as long as my app is a singleton, no matter the amount of modules I have, it is still a single instance.
At what point is Google distributing my app unto more than one server, which will definitely cause more than one instance? Is it possible to control the instances created? I mean like force App Engine to manage resources within a fixed number of instances instead of trying to be so perfect (unmanaged) that it costs me lots of money. Greg, I'll be looking forward to your answers on these FAQs because I'll be giving a talk on Google App Engine at upcoming CloudCamp event.
