Here's another example of the broken scheduler.
<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dryIprRn0bE/TmD-GLgqiKI/AAAAAAAASIw/k3RfU7EfbLE/pnengine.JPG> My app lives on around 64-64MB of RAM. Consistenly (the screendump should testify to that). I've restricted the settings to spawn as few instances as possible. As seen the load is very, very small. Yet, for some reason, the scheduler decided to spawn a new instance (14 minutes old on the screendump) instead of the old one (56 minutes old) that hardly had any load (12 requests) and consumed the same amount of memory. As a result, the old instance now sits (but still runs) without doing anything apart from billing me - and the new one took over. This picture is reoccouring all day long - with the exception that sometimes there is an idle instance too (that I will also have to pay for). Can someone please tell me how I am supposed to believe that this is worth 250 USD a year, for a small non-profit app that I finance out of my own pocket? Being a trusted tester on several API's, trusting in the tagline that it was a perfect platform for small developers that just had a good idea, I now feel sad that I helped Google build this platform - and recomended it to my friends. In the end, I will have to write a message to the 1000 regular users of my webpage, letting them know the history of this, and pointing their anger to Google. Something I never in my wildest nightmare thought I would have to do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
