Google App Engine Goes Down and Stays Down
- shaunxcode 18y agoI know gmail has been in "beta" for so long that it almost seems sarcastic BUT google app engine is absolutely 1000% beta! As such things like this are more than par for the course. If people were paying for the service that would be one thing but this is probably one of the reasons they aren't selling the service yet. </fanboy>
- sah 18y agoStuff like this tends to make developers nervous about adopting a new platform. This actually makes me feel good about adopting App Engine as a platform, not bad. Of course there will be outages. Then the problems will be fixed, and there will be fewer in the future. Would you rather do this on your own, with your own infrastructure, or use something like App Engine, and have many of these issues already dealt with before you even start? If the outages still seem unusually frequent in a year, then I'll be nervous about App Engine.
- geuis 18y agoThis is kinda old now. Problem has been fixed and is back up. See the update on the story. Lets not make a big deal out of App Engine having problems. Amazon's stuff has been out for a while and has had several temporary outages since release, all of which were quickly resolved.
- drusenko 18y agoi suppose it depends on how you define "quickly resolved". if by "quickly resolved" you mean resolved in a few hours, and that's acceptable to you, then that works. sometimes things being "quickly resolved" in a few hours are unacceptable.
