    App Engine shouldn't replay requests, because we can't be sure that the request is idempotent (even if it is a GET request). I'm not completely certain that there is no replay, but I would be super surprised if that were the case.

    Perhaps your app saw more traffic, because people were hitting your app more often (e.g. repeatedly hitting reload in their browsers), due to intermittent failures? Maybe your users were doing their own version of "reply"?

    Today we have seen 380 instances spawned during that short period

    Feedback through groups is good...but many times memcache service fails as a result our service fails...if you guys can make memcache implementation more robust that would be great

    We noticed a 5x increase in server instances. I think the scaling algorithm kicked in when instance latency grew to 60 seconds. Request latency is a key component in the decision to spawn more instances, right?
