On March 5th Google must have updated the AppEngine infrastructure and ever
since, AppEngine is quite annoying.

*Memcache Size shrunk 10x*
Before we had about 40 GB constantly. Now we have on average 4GB, but it
changes
greatly during the day. Sometimes we only have a few seconds in memcache.
Shrinking memcache by a factor of 10x from 1 day to another without a
headsup to
the devs is really bad.

*Releases don't update all instances immediately*
We get "sticky" instances running old code (about 10%) forever.
This is super dangerous if you change for example database schemas.
There is no easy way to resolve the issue. Changing the default version
doesn't help either. You can't run update and ruin MapReduces to analyse
data because you first need to make sure all instances run the new code
which is tricky.

Google did those changes without giving us a heads up.
Decisions like this really screw us developers. I'm extremely dissatisfied
with Google.
We spend well over $100'000 on server costs and would expect Google
to make sure our experience is great. But it's not.

Anybody else having trouble lately?
