Back in March, we announced that all App Engine apps hosted on appspot.com would be reachable over IPv6, from ISPs enrolled in the Google over IPv6 program.Today, we're adding the same service to all domains hosted by ghs.google.com. If your App Engine app runs on your own domain name using Google Apps, then be sure to review our earlier blog post, which discusses the caveats of parsing client IP addresses, and how to use the SixXS Gateway to test your site over IPv6.Currently, the Google over IPv6 program presents AAAA records only to ISPs within...

Update on Datastore Performance Status
Posted on 14:41 by Unknown
If you have been running an App Engine application over the last few months, you will have noticed that performance of the Datastore has drastically improved. In fact, it quickly improved after the blog post we wrote in May acknowledging the performance issues. We chose to wait until this point to ensure that we could maintain the performance and quality of service. Thanks to a huge effort from the Datastore engineering team and our Production team, the metrics over the past month have made us confident that we have returned to a level of performance...

Introducing the Mapper API
Posted on 12:33 by Unknown
At Google I/O we announced the Mapper API. Built completely on top of public App Engine APIs today, this API is only the first component of App Engine’s MapReduce toolkit, but can be extremely useful on its own.The Mapper API can already be of use to many developers who would otherwise need to build their own tool for doing large scale data manipulation. In addition to taking care of the distribution of these jobs over task queues, it provides the ability to store state, batch datastore writes via mutation pools, and ships with an easy to use administrative...

Upcoming App Engine conference appearances
Posted on 01:04 by Unknown
Fresh from our exciting news from Google I/O last quarter (launch of Google App Engine for Business and new product developments), we now look ahead to the mid-summer months. Since I/O, we've already appeared at a number of events including the Google DevFest Australia and Philippines, PyCon AU, and the Malaysia Open Source Conference, with many more coming this month. There are several well-known large conferences (and many smaller ones too) that our team members will be attending and/or speaking at, so hopefully we'll get to meet you at one of...

Upcoming Datastore Downtime
Posted on 00:58 by Unknown
We have two scheduled upcoming maintenance periods for the Datastore:July 7th, 2010 - 5pm-6pm Pacific Time (July 8th, 0:00 GMT) - Later todayJuly 14th, 2010 - 5pm-6pm Pacific Time (July 15th, 0:00 GMT)As part of our on going Datastore reliability work, we'd like to inform developers that during the period between the two maintenance events listed above, we are expecting that Datastore performance will be impacted and applications will see higher read/write latencies. This maintenance and the higher latency in between are an unfortunate, but necessary...
