Appengine - Limit the number of instances
There should really be a option to limit to a specific number of
instances, no matter what. In the application settings menu all you can do
is to limit the maximum number of IDLE instances, which I'm not sure if it
works as intended. I mean I set the Max Idle Instances to 1 and the Min
Pending Latency to 15 seconds, but I still see 2 instances running
occasionally, for long period of times with no requests. Aren't they
supposed to close after 15 min of being idle? And why does it even fire a
seconds instance with those settings, considering that no request reached
15 seconds delay?
I run a simple "what's my IP" python app, that really doesn't need high
performance. I mean it really doesn't make a difference if the response is
after 100ms or 5 seconds, all it matters is that only one instance is
running, so that those daily 28 instance hours don't ever run out.
